Ben Sira 11:23

23 Do not say, "What do I need, and what further benefit can be mine?"

Ben Sira 11:23 In-Context

21 Do not wonder at the works of a sinner, but trust in the Lord and keep at your job; for it is easy in the sight of the Lord to make the poor rich suddenly, in an instant.

22 The blessing of the Lord is the reward of the pious, and quickly God causes his blessing to flourish.

23 Do not say, "What do I need, and what further benefit can be mine?"

24 Do not say, "I have enough, and what harm can come to me now?"

25 In the day of prosperity, adversity is forgotten, and in the day of adversity, prosperity is not remembered.
