5 Many tyrants have sat on the ground, and one who was never expected to rule has worn a crown.

Sirach 11:5 In-Context

3 The bee is small among flying creatures, but its produce is the origin of everything sweet.

4 Don't take pride in the way you dress, and don't promote yourself when you are being honored, because the Lord's works are wonderful, and his works are hidden from humans.

5 Many tyrants have sat on the ground, and one who was never expected to rule has worn a crown.

6 Many rulers have been completely dishonored, and those once held in honor have been handed over to others.

7 Don't find fault before you investigate; consider first, and then reprimand.
