Ben Sira 31:8-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Happy the rich person found without fault,
who does not turn aside after wealth.(A)
9 Who is he, that we may praise him?
For he has done wonders among his people.
10 Who has been tested by gold and been found perfect?
Let it be for him his glory;
Who could have sinned but did not,
and could have done evil but did not?
11 So his good fortune is secure,
and the assembly will recount his praises.(B)
