Ben Sira 40:18

18 To labor and to be content with what a man hath is a sweet life, but he that findeth a treasure is above them both.

Ben Sira 40:18 In-Context

16 The weed growing upon every water and bank of a river shall be pulled up before all grass.
17 Bountifulness is as a most fruitful garden, and mercifulness endureth for ever.
18 To labor and to be content with what a man hath is a sweet life, but he that findeth a treasure is above them both.
19 Children and the building of a city continue a man's name, but a blameless wife is counted above them both.
20 Wine and music rejoice the heart, but the love of wisdom is above them both.
