Ben Sira 11:23

23 Don't be concerned about what you need, or what success the future holds for you.

Ben Sira 11:23 In-Context

21 Don't be jealous of what sinners achieve; just stick to your own work, and trust the Lord. It is very easy for the Lord to make a poor person suddenly rich.

22 Devout people will receive the Lord's blessing as their reward, and that blessing can be given in a moment.

23 Don't be concerned about what you need, or what success the future holds for you.

24 On the other hand, don't think that you have everything you need or that nothing can go wrong for you in the future.

25 When things are going well, people don't think about hard times; and when things are going badly, they forget about prosperity.
