Ben Sira 11:22

22 The blessing of the Lord is the reward of the godly, and suddenly He maketh his blessing to flourish.

Ben Sira 11:22 In-Context

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.
23 Say not, "What profit is there in my service, and what good things shall I have hereafter?"
24 Again, say not, "I have enough and possess many things, and what evil can come to me hereafter?"
