Ecclesiasticus 10:26-30 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

26. Despise not a just man that is poor, and do not magnify a sinful man that is rich.

27. The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater than he that feareth God.

28. They that are free shall serve a servant that is wise: and a man that is prudent and well instructed will not murmur when he is reproved; and he that is ignorant, shall not be honoured.

29. Extol not thyself in doing thy work, and linger not in the time of distress:

30. Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself and wanteth bread.
