Sirach 11:6

6 Many rulers have been completely dishonored, and those once held in honor have been handed over to others.

Sirach 11:6 In-Context

4 Don't take pride in the way you dress, and don't promote yourself when you are being honored, because the Lord's works are wonderful, and his works are hidden from humans.
5 Many tyrants have sat on the ground, and one who was never expected to rule has worn a crown.
6 Many rulers have been completely dishonored, and those once held in honor have been handed over to others.
7 Don't find fault before you investigate; consider first, and then reprimand.
8 Don't answer before you listen, and don't interrupt someone who is speaking.
