Sirach 10:29-31

Wycliffe Bible

²⁹ Who shall justify him that sinneth against his (own) soul? and who shall honour him that dishonoureth his (own) soul?

³⁰ A poor man hath glory by his learning and dread; and there is a man that is honoured for his chattel. [The poor glorieth by discipline and his dread; and there is a man that is worshipped for his substance.]

³¹ Forsooth if a man hath glory in poverty, how much more in chattel? and he that hath glory in chattel, dread poverty. [Who forsooth glorieth in poorness, how much more in substance? and who glorieth in substance, poorness shameth.]
