Ben Sira 11:25 In-Context

23 Do not say, "What do I need, and what prosperity could be mine in the future?"
24 Do not say, "I have enough, and what calamity could happen to me in the future?"
25 In the day of prosperity, adversity is forgotten, and in the day of adversity, prosperity is not remembered.
26 For it is easy in the sight of the Lord to reward a man on the day of death according to his conduct.
27 The misery of an hour makes one forget luxury, and at the close of a man's life his deeds will be revealed.
