Sirach 11:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Praise not a man for his beauty, neither despise a man for his look.

³ The bee is small among flying things, but her fruit hath the chiefest sweetness.

⁴ Glory not in apparel at any time, and be not exalted in the day of thy honour: for the works of the Highest only are wonderful, and his works are glorious, and secret, and hidden.
