Ben Sira 10:25

25 A slave who is wise will have free citizens serving him; and if they are sensible, they will not resent it.

Ben Sira 10:25 In-Context

23 It is not right to refuse honor to a poor person who is intelligent, and it is not right to give honor to a sinner.

24 People of influence, rulers, and judges will be honored, but none of them is greater than a person who fears the Lord.

25 A slave who is wise will have free citizens serving him; and if they are sensible, they will not resent it.

26 When you do your work, don't make a show of your skill, and don't try to put on a show when you are in trouble.

27 It is better to work and have more than you need than to go around boasting but hungry.
