Sirach 10:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ Despise not a just man that is poor, and do not magnify a sinful man that is rich.

²⁷ The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater than he that feareth God.

²⁸ They that are free shall serve a servant that is wise: and a man that is prudent and well instructed will not murmur when he is reproved; and he that is ignorant, shall not be honoured.
