Sirach 10:27-29

Wycliffe Bible

²⁷ He is better that worketh, and hath plenty in all things, than he that hath glory, and needeth bread. [Better is that worketh, and aboundeth in all things, than that glorieth, and needeth bread.]

²⁸ Son, keep thy soul in mildness (or in meekness), that holdeth due measure, and refraineth (from) excess; and give thou honour to it, after his (or its) merit.

²⁹ Who shall justify him that sinneth against his (own) soul? and who shall honour him that dishonoureth his (own) soul?
