31. Son, preserve your soul in meekness, and give it honor according to its merit.
32. Who will justify one who sins in his soul? And who will honor one who dishonors his soul?
33. The poor man is glorified by his discipline and fear. And there is a man who is honored because of his substance.
34. But if someone is glorified in poverty, how much more in substance? And whoever is glorified in substance, let him fear poverty.
