Sirach 11:2-4

Good News Translation

Appearances

² Do not compliment a person on his good looks. On the other hand, do not look down on someone who is unattractive. ³ Compared to most flying things, a bee is very small, but the honey it makes is the sweetest of foods. ⁴ Don't make fun of someone who has fallen on hard times and is dressed in rags.^[a] The Lord does wonderful things that human beings never notice.
