Ben Sira 4:7

7 Make yourself beloved in the congregation; bow your head low to a great man.

Ben Sira 4:7 In-Context

5 Do not avert your eye from the needy, nor give a man occasion to curse you;

6 for if in bitterness of soul he calls down a curse upon you, his Creator will hear his prayer.

7 Make yourself beloved in the congregation; bow your head low to a great man.

8 Incline your ear to the poor, and answer him peaceably and gently.

9 Deliver him who is wronged from the hand of the wrongdoer; and do not be fainthearted in judging a case.
