Sirach 10:31
King James VersionSource notes
“He that is honoured in poverty, how much more in riches? and he that is dishonourable in riches, how much more in poverty?”
Context
28My son, glorify thy soul in meekness, and give it honour according to the dignity thereof.
29Who will justify him that sinneth against his own soul? and who will honour him that dishonoureth his own life?
30The poor man is honoured for his skill, and the rich man is honoured for his riches.
31He that is honoured in poverty, how much more in riches? and he that is dishonourable in riches, how much more in poverty?
