Sirach 10:29-31

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁹ Extol not thyself in doing thy work, and linger not in the time of distress:

³⁰ Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself and wanteth bread.

³¹ My son, keep thy soul in meekness, and give it honour according to its desert.
