Ben Sira 33:16

Listen to Ben Sira 33:16
16 I was the last on watch; I was like one who gleans after the grape-gatherers; by the blessing of the Lord I excelled, and like a grape-gatherer I filled my wine press.

Ben Sira 33:16 In-Context

14 Good is the opposite of evil, and life the opposite of death; so the sinner is the opposite of the godly.
15 Look upon all the works of the Most High; they likewise are in pairs, one the opposite of the other.
16 I was the last on watch; I was like one who gleans after the grape-gatherers; by the blessing of the Lord I excelled, and like a grape-gatherer I filled my wine press.
17 Consider that I have not labored for myself alone, but for all who seek instruction.
18 Hear me, you who are great among the people, and you leaders of the congregation, hearken.
