Ben Sira 11:3

3 The bee is little among such as fly, but her fruit is the chief of sweet things.

Ben Sira 11:3 In-Context

1 Wisdom lifteth up the head of him that is of low degree, and maketh him to sit among great men.

2 Commend not a man for his beauty; neither abhor a man for his outward appearance.

3 The bee is little among such as fly, but her fruit is the chief of sweet things.

4 Boast not of thy clothing and raiment, and exalt not thyself in the day of honor; for the works of the Lord are wondrous, and His works among men are hidden.

5 Many kings have sat down upon the ground, and one that was never thought of hath worn the crown.
