Ben Sira 11:13

Listen to Ben Sira 11:13

Ben Sira 11:13 In-Context

11 For instance, here is someone who never stops working like a slave, but gets further behind all the time.
12 On the other hand, someone else may be very poor and not up to his task. He may be slow, and he may need help, but the Lord is pleased with him and pulls him out of his bad situation.
13 When he is back on his feet again, everyone is astounded.
14 Everything comes from the Lord: success and failure, poverty and wealth, life and death.
15 Wisdom, understanding, knowledge of the Law, love, and the doing of good deeds - all these come from the Lord.
Scripture taken from the Good News Translation - Second Edition, Copyright 1992 by American Bible Society. Used by Permission.
