Ecclesiasticus 40:16

Ecclesiasticus 40:16 Context

¹³The goods of the unjust shall be dried up like a river, and shall vanish with noise, like a great thunder in rain. ¹⁴While he openeth his hand he shall rejoice: so shall transgressors come to nought. ¹⁵The children of the ungodly shall not bring forth many branches: but are as unclean roots upon a hard rock. ¹⁶The weed growing upon every water and bank of a river shall be pulled up before all grass. ¹⁷Bountifulness is as a most fruitful garden, and mercifulness endureth for ever. ¹⁸To labour, and to be content with that a man hath, is a sweet life: but he that findeth a treasure is above them both. ¹⁹Children and the building of a city continue a man's name: but a blameless wife is counted above them both.
