Sirach 40:26-28

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁶ Riches and strength build up confidence,
    but the fear of the Lord is better than either.
There is no want in the fear of the Lord,
    and with it there is no need to seek for help.
²⁷ The fear of the Lord is like a garden of blessing,
    and covers a person better than any glory.

²⁸ My child, do not lead the life of a beggar;
    it is better to die than to beg.
