Ben Sira 11:14

14 Prosperity and adversity, life and death, poverty and riches, come from the Lord.

Ben Sira 11:14 In-Context

12 Again, there is another that is slow, and hath need of help, lacking in ability, and full of poverty; yet the eye of the Lord looked upon him for good, and set him up from his low estate,
13 and lifted up his head from misery, so that many that saw it marveled at him.
14 Prosperity and adversity, life and death, poverty and riches, come from the Lord.
15 Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the law, are of the Lord: love, and the way of good works, are from Him.
16 Error and darkness had their beginning together with sinners, and evil shall wax old with them that glory therein.
