Sirach 11:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³ The bee is small among flying creatures,
    but what it produces is the best of sweet things.
⁴ Do not boast about wearing fine clothes,
    and do not exalt yourself when you are honoured;
for the works of the Lord are wonderful,
    and his works are concealed from humankind.
⁵ Many kings have had to sit on the ground,
    but one who was never thought of has worn a crown.
