Ben Sira 11:20

20 Be steadfast in thy covenant, and be occupied therein, and wax old in thy work.

Ben Sira 11:20 In-Context

18 There is one that waxeth rich by his wariness and pinching, and this is the portion of his reward:
19 whereas he saith, "I have found rest, and now will eat continually of my goods," yet he knoweth not what time shall come upon him, and that he must leave those things to others, and die.
20 Be steadfast in thy covenant, and be occupied therein, and wax old in thy work.
21 Marvel not at the works of sinners, but trust in the Lord, and abide in thy labor; for it is an easy thing in the sight of the Lord suddenly to make a poor man rich.
22 The blessing of the Lord is the reward of the godly, and suddenly He maketh his blessing to flourish.
