Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 11:21

μὴ θαύμαζε ἐν ἔργοις ἁμαρτωλοῦ, πίστευε τῷ Κυρίῳ καὶ ἔμμενε τῷ πόνῳ σου· ὅτι κοῦφον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου διὰ τάχους ἐξάπινα πλουτίσαι πένητα.
King James Version (KJV)

Marvel not at the works of sinners; but trust in the Lord, and abide in thy labour: for it is an easy thing in the sight of the Lord on the sudden to make a poor man rich.

Modern English

Do not be amazed at the doings of sinners; trust in the Lord and keep at your labor, for it is easy in the Lord's sight to suddenly make a poor man rich.
