Sirach 10:26

26 Don't show off your wisdom when you do your work, and don't magnify yourself when you have difficulties.

Sirach 10:26 In-Context

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.
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.
