In context
27Better is he that laboreth, and aboundeth in all things, Than he that boasteth himself, and wanteth bread.
28My son, glorify thy soul in meekness, And give it honor according to the dignity thereof.
— Sirach 10:29 —
30The poor man is honored for his skill, And the rich man is honored for his riches.
31He that is honored in poverty, how much more in riches? And he that is dishonorable in riches, how much more in poverty?
