Ben Sira 32:1

1 HAVE they made thee ruler? be not lifted up: be among them as one of them.

Ben Sira 32:1 In-Context

1 HAVE they made thee ruler? be not lifted up: be among them as one of them.

2 Have care of them, and so sit down, and when thou hast acquitted thyself of all thy charge, take thy place :

3 That thou mayst rejoice for them, and receive a crown as an ornament of grace, and get the honour of the contribution.

4 Speak, thou that art elder: for it becometh thee,

5 To speak the first word with care knowledge, and hinder not music.
