Ben Sira 10:28

28 My son, glorify thy soul in meekness, and give it honor according to the dignity thereof.

Ben Sira 10:28 In-Context

26 Be not overwise in doing thy business, and boast not thyself in the time of thy distress.

27 Better is he that laboreth and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself and wanteth bread.

28 My son, glorify thy soul in meekness, and give it honor according to the dignity thereof.

29 Who will justify him that sinneth against his own soul? And who will honor him that dishonoreth his own life?

30 The poor man is honored for his skill, and the rich man is honored for his riches.
