Besa urn:cts:copticLit:besa.vigilance.monbba

Found in English Translation: …would find valuables. They also do not break into a place guarded against thieves, but where they know that no one watches, but everyone is asleep, it is there that they break in and rob, whatever they find, In the same way the devil does not rob the one who is vigilant and preserves the fruits of his effort, but the one whom he finds careless and without fear of God, not considering, in which state he will come into the hands of God, driven back and forth by every wind, this is the one whose fruits he robs ruthlessly.
