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.
31 Son, preserve your soul in meekness, and give it honor according to its merit.
