Ben Sira 10:29

29 Who will acquit those who condemn themselves? And who will honor those who dishonor themselves?

Ben Sira 10:29 In-Context

27 Better is the worker who has goods in plenty than the boaster who lacks bread.

28 My child, honor yourself with humility, and give yourself the esteem you deserve.

29 Who will acquit those who condemn themselves? And who will honor those who dishonor themselves?

30 The poor are honored for their knowledge, while the rich are honored for their wealth.

31 One who is honored in poverty, how much more in wealth! And one dishonored in wealth, how much more in poverty!
