Sirach 10:25-27

Good News Translation

²⁵ A slave who is wise will have free citizens serving him; and if they are sensible, they will not resent it.

Humility and Self-respect

²⁶ When you do your work, don't make a show of your skill, and don't try to put on a show when you are in trouble. ²⁷ It is better to work and have more than you need than to go around boasting but hungry.
