Sirach 10:18-23 World English Bible (WEB)

18. Pride has not been created for men, Nor wrathful anger for the offspring of women.

19. What manner of seed has honor? the seed of man. What manner of seed has honor? they that fear the Lord. What manner of seed has no honor? the seed of man. What manner of seed has no honor? they that transgress the commandments.

20. In the midst of brethren he that rules them has honor; And in the eyes of the Lord they that fear him.

22. The rich man, and the honorable, and the poor, Their glorying is the fear of the Lord.

23. It is not right to dishonor a poor man that has understanding; And it is not fitting to glorify a man that is a sinner.
