Sirach 11:3-5

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ The bee is small among flying creatures,
    but her product is the best of sweet things.
⁴ Do not boast about wearing fine clothes,
    nor exalt yourself in the day that you are honored;
for the works of the Lord are wonderful,
    and his works are concealed from men.
⁵ Many kings have had to sit on the ground,
    but one who was never thought of has worn a crown.
