Sirach 10:28 CPDV

²⁶  Do not choose to despise a just man who is poor, and do not choose to magnify a sinful man who is rich.

²⁷  The great man, and the judge, and the powerful have honor. But no one is greater than he who fears God.

²⁸  Those who are free will serve an understanding servant. And a prudent and disciplined man will not murmur at correction. But an ignorant man will not be honored.

²⁹  Do not choose to extol yourself in doing your work, and do not be unproductive during the time of distress.

³⁰  He who works, and so abounds in all things, is better than he who boasts, and so lacks bread.
