Ben Sira 3:18 In-Context

16 Whoever forsakes a father is like a blasphemer, and whoever angers a mother is cursed by the Lord.
17 My child, perform your tasks with humility; then you will be loved by those whom God accepts.
18 The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself; so you will find favor in the sight of the Lord.
20 For great is the might of the Lord; but by the humble he is glorified.
