28
My son, glorify yourself with humility, and ascribe to yourself honor according to your worth.
29
Who will justify the man that sins against himself? And who will honor the man that dishonors his own life?
30
A poor man is honored for his knowledge, while a rich man is honored for his wealth.
31
A man honored in poverty, how much more in wealth! And a man dishonored in wealth, how much more in poverty!
