27
Those who work and have what they need in abundance are better than those who walk around glorifying themselves but lack bread.
28
My child, hold yourself in honor with gentleness, and give yourself honor as you deserve it.
29
Who will justify those who sin against themselves? And who will honor those who bring dishonor to their own lives?
30
Poor people will be honored because of their knowledge, and rich people will be honored because of their wealth.
31
Whoever is honored in poverty, how much more will he or she be honored in wealth? And whoever is disreputable in wealth, how much more will he or she be disreputable in poverty?
