Sirach 40:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

16 The reeds by any water or river bank
    are plucked up before any grass;
17 but kindness is like a garden of blessings,
    and almsgiving endures forever.

The Joys of Life

18 Wealth and wages make life sweet,[a]
    but better than either is finding a treasure.
