Sirach 32:1-3
Wycliffe Bible
32 They have set thee a governor, do not thou be enhanced (or exalted); be thou among them as one of them. Have thou (the) care of them, and so behold thou; and when all thy care is filled, sit thou to meat [or (to) rest].
2 That thou be glad for them, and take the ornament of grace; and get (a) crown, and (the) dignity of (the) congregation.
3 Speak thou, the greater man in birth; for why the word of him that loveth cunning (or knowing) become thee first; and hinder thou not (the) music. [Speak thou (the) more-through-birth; forsooth there seemeth thee first the word of loving cunning; and let (or hinder) thou not music.]
