Ben Sira 11:6 In-Context

4 Do not boast about wearing fine clothes, nor exalt yourself in the day that you are honored; for the works of the Lord are wonderful, and his works are concealed from men.

5 Many kings have had to sit on the ground, but one who was never thought of has worn a crown.

6 Many rulers have been greatly disgraced, and illustrious men have been handed over to others.

7 Do not find fault before you investigate; first consider, and then reprove.

8 Do not answer before you have heard, nor interrupt a speaker in the midst of his words.
