Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 33:16

Κἀγὼ ἔσχατος ἠγρύπνησα ὡς καλαμώμενος ὀπίσω τρυγητῶν· ἐν εὐλογίᾳ Κυρίου ἔφθασα καὶ ὡς τρυγῶν ἐπλήρωσα ληνόν.
King James Version (KJV)

I awaked up last of all, as one that gathereth after the grapegatherers: by the blessing of the Lord I profited, and filled my winepress like a gatherer of grapes.

Modern English

I woke up last of all, like someone gleaning after the grape-pickers, yet by the Lord's blessing I made progress, and filled my winepress like a grape-gatherer.
