Sirach 10:23-25
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 It is not right to despise one who is intelligent but poor,
and it is not proper to honor one who is sinful.(A)
24 The prince and the judge and the ruler are honored,
but none of them is greater than the one who fears the Lord.(B)
25 Free people will serve a wise slave,
and an intelligent person will not complain.(C)
