Sirach 10:24 In-Context

22 The rich, the heroes, and the poor— their pride is the fear of the Lord.
23 It's not right to dishonor someone who is intelligent but poor, and it's not proper to give glory to a sinful person.
24 The official, the judge, and the ruler will be glorified, but none of them are greater than the one who fears the Lord.
25 Free people will serve the wise person who has been enslaved, and a knowledgeable person won't complain.
26 Don't show off your wisdom when you do your work, and don't magnify yourself when you have difficulties.
