Sirach 10:27

27 Those who work and have what they need in abundance are better than those who walk around glorifying themselves but lack bread.

Sirach 10:27 In-Context

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.

29 Who will justify those who sin against themselves? And who will honor those who bring dishonor to their own lives?
