Ben Sira 10:30

30 The poor are honored for their knowledge, while the rich are honored for their wealth.

Ben Sira 10:30 In-Context

28 My child, honor yourself with humility, and give yourself the esteem you deserve.

29 Who will acquit those who condemn themselves? And who will honor those who dishonor themselves?

30 The poor are honored for their knowledge, while the rich are honored for their wealth.

31 One who is honored in poverty, how much more in wealth! And one dishonored in wealth, how much more in poverty!
