In context
25Unto the servant that is wise shall they that are free do service: And he that hath knowledge will not grudge when he is reformed.
26Be not overwise in doing thy business; And boast not thyself in the time of thy distress.
— Sirach 10:27 —
28My son, glorify thy soul in meekness, And give it honor according to the dignity thereof.
29Who will justify him that sinneth against his own soul? And who will honor him that dishonoreth his own life?
