18. There is that waxes rich by his wariness and pinching, And this is the portion of his reward:
19. When he says, I have found rest, And now will I eat of my goods; Yet he knows not what time shall pass, And he shall leave them to others, and die.
20. Be stedfast in your covenant, and be conversant therein, And wax old in your work.
21. Marvel not at the works of a sinner; But trust the Lord, and abide in your labor: For it is an easy thing in the sight of the Lord swiftly on the sudden to make a poor man rich.
22. The blessing of the Lord is in the reward of the godly; And in an hour that comes swiftly he makes his blessing to flourish.
