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.
24. The great man, and the judge, and the mighty man, shall be glorified; And there is not one of them greater than he that fears the Lord.
25. Free men shall minister to a wise servant; And a man that has knowledge will not murmur thereat.
26. Be not over wise in doing your work; And glorify not yourself in the time of your distress.
27. Better is he that labores, and abounds in all things, Than he that glorifieth himself, and lacketh bread.
28. My son, glorify your soul in meekness, And give it honor according to the worthiness thereof.
29. Who will justify him that sins against his own soul? And who will glorify him that dishonors his own life?
30. A poor man is glorified for his knowledge; And a rich man is glorified for his riches.
