Sirach 40:17

17 Kindness is like an orchard of blessings, and an act of charity will last forever.

Sirach 40:17 In-Context

15 The offspring of the ungodly won't produce many branches, and they are polluted roots on sheer rock.

16 A reed by any water or riverbank will be pulled up before any grass.

17 Kindness is like an orchard of blessings, and an act of charity will last forever.

18 Life will be sweet for the self-reliant and the hardworking, but better than both is the person who finds a treasure.

19 Children and building a city establish one's name, but better than both is a wife who is considered blameless.
