Sirach 10:27-29

Revised Standard Version

²⁷ Better is a man who works and has an abundance of everything,
    than one who goes about boasting, but lacks bread.
²⁸ My son, glorify yourself with humility,
    and ascribe to yourself honor according to your worth.
²⁹ Who will justify the man that sins against himself?
    And who will honor the man that dishonors his own life?
