Sirach 32:3 CPDV

¹  Have they appointed you as a leader? Do not be willing to be extolled. Be among them as one of them.

²  Have concern for them, and in this way sit down with them, and when you have explained all your concerns, sit back.

³  Then you may rejoice because of them, and you may receive a crown as an adornment of grace, and so obtain the dignity of the assembly.

⁴  Speak, you who are greater by birth. For it is fitting for you

⁵  to speak the first word with careful knowledge. But you should not hinder the music.
