Wisdom of Ben Sira 10:29-31
New Catholic Bible
29 Who will acquit one who condemns himself?
Who will honor one who holds himself in low esteem?
30 The poor man is honored for his skill,[a]
the rich man for his wealth.
31 One who is honored in poverty, how much more so in wealth!
And one who is dishonored in wealth, how much more so in poverty!
