Ben Sira 10:24-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 The prince, the ruler, the judge are in honor;
but none is greater than the one who fears God.
25 When the free serve a wise slave,
the wise will not complain.(A)
26 Do not flaunt your wisdom in managing your affairs,
or boast in your time of need.
