Sirach 10:25-27

Wycliffe Bible

²⁵ Free children serve a witty (or a witting) servant; and a prudent man and learned shall not grudge (or grumble), when he is blamed, and an uncunning, (or an unknowing, or an ignorant) man shall not be honored. [To the servant well feeling (or perceiving) shall serve free men; and a man prudent and learned shall not grudge chastised, and the uncunning shall not be worshipped.]

²⁶ Do not thou enhance thee in thy work to be done; and do not thou be slow [or despair] in the time of anguish.

²⁷ He is better that worketh, and hath plenty in all things, than he that hath glory, and needeth bread. [Better is that worketh, and aboundeth in all things, than that glorieth, and needeth bread.]
