Ben Sira 4:7

7 Get thyself the love of the congregation, and bow thy head to great man.

Ben Sira 4:7 In-Context

5 Turn not away thine eye from the needy, and give him no occasion to curse thee;

6 for if he curse thee in the bitterness of his soul, his prayer shall be heard by Him that made him.

7 Get thyself the love of the congregation, and bow thy head to great man.

8 Let it not grieve thee to bow down thine ear to the poor, and give him a friendly answer with meekness.

9 Deliver him that suffereth wrong from the hand of the oppressor, and be not fainthearted when thou sittest in judgment.
