26
Do not make a display of your wisdom when you do your work,
and do not boast when you are in need.
27
Better is the worker who has goods in plenty
than the boaster who lacks bread.
28
My child, honor yourself with humility,
and give yourself the esteem you deserve.
29
Who will acquit those who condemn 1 themselves?
And who will honor those who dishonor themselves? 2
30
The poor are honored for their knowledge,
while the rich are honored for their wealth.
31
One who is honored in poverty, how much more in wealth!
And one dishonored in wealth, how much more in poverty!
