Sirach 10:18-20
Good News Translation
18 The Creator never intended for human beings to be arrogant and violent.
People Who Should Be Honored
19 Who deserves honor? The human race does, because people fear the Lord. Who does not deserve honor? The human race does not, because people break the Lord's commands. 20 A leader should be honored by those who follow him, and the Lord honors those who fear him.[a]
