Ecclesiasticus 11:13

Ecclesiasticus 11:13 Context

¹⁰My son, meddle not with many matters: for if thou meddle much, thou shalt not be innocent; and if thou follow after, thou shalt not obtain, neither shalt thou escape by fleeing. ¹¹There is one that laboureth, and taketh pains, and maketh haste, and is so much the more behind. ¹²Again, there is another that is slow, and hath need of help, wanting ability, and full of poverty; yet the eye of the Lord looked upon him for good, and set him up from his low estate, ¹³And lifted up his head from misery; so that many that saw it marvelled at him. ¹⁴Prosperity and adversity, life and death, poverty and riches, come of the Lord. ¹⁵Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding of the law, are of the Lord: love, and the way of good works, are from him. ¹⁶Error and darkness had their beginning together with sinners: and evil shall wax old with them that glory therein.
