Sirach 20:9-12
Back luck can sometimes lead to success,
and a stroke of good luck can sometimes lead to loss.
Generousity will sometimes do you no good,
but at other times it will repay you double.
Honor can be followed by disgrace,
but there are people who have risen from obscurity to places of honor.
Sometimes what seems like a real bargain can turn out
to be a very expensive mistake.
