Ben Sira 18:25

25 Remember poverty is the time of abundance, and the necessities of poverty in the day of riches.

Ben Sira 18:25 In-Context

23 Before prayer prepare thy soul: and be not as a man that tempteth God.

24 Remember the wrath that shall be at the last day, and the time of repaying when he shall turn away his face.

25 Remember poverty is the time of abundance, and the necessities of poverty in the day of riches.

26 From the morning until the evening the time shall be changed, and all these are swift in the eyes of God.

27 A wise man will fear in every thing, and in the days of sine will beware of sloth.
