Ben Sira 10:23 In-Context

22 The rich, and the eminent, and the poor— their glory is the fear of the Lord.
23 It is not right to despise one who is intelligent but poor, and it is not proper to honor one who is sinful.
24 The prince and the judge and the ruler are honored, but none of them is greater than the one who fears the Lord.
25 Free citizens will serve a wise servant, and an intelligent person will not complain.
