Sirach 33:14-18 World English Bible (WEB)

14. Good is set over against evil, And life over against death: So is the sinner over against the godly.

15. And thus look upon all the works of the Most High; Two and two, one against another.

16. And I waked up last, As one that gleans after the grape gatherers: By the blessing of the Lord I got before them, And filled my winepress as one that gathers grapes.

17. Consider that I laboured not for myself alone, But for all them that seek instruction.

18. Hear me, you⌃ great men of the people, And hearken with your ears, you⌃ rulers of the congregation.
