Ecclesiasticus 40:16 Context
14While he openeth his hand he shal reioyce: so shall transgressours come to nought. 15The children of the vngodly shall not bring forth many branches: but are as vncleane roots vpon a hard rocke. 16The weed growing vpon euery water, and banke of a riuer, shall bee pulled vp before all grasse. 17Bountifulnes is as a most fruitfull garden, and mercifulnesse endureth for euer. 18To labour & to be content with that a man hath, is a sweet life: but hee that findeth a treasure, is aboue them both.
