Ben Sira 18:25

25 When you have all you want, think what it is like to be hungry, what it is to be poor.

Ben Sira 18:25 In-Context

23 But before you make such a promise, be prepared to keep it. Don't try to test the Lord's patience.

24 Think! Do you want him to be angry with you on the day you die? When you face his judgment, do you want him to turn his back on you?

25 When you have all you want, think what it is like to be hungry, what it is to be poor.

26 Things can change in a single day; the Lord can act very quickly.

27 If you are wise, you will be careful in everything you do. When sin is all around you, be especially careful that you do not become guilty.
