24 In the midst of brethren their chief is honourable: so shall they that fear the Lord, be in his eyes.
25 The fear of God is the glory of the rich, and of the honourable, and of the poor:
26 Despise not a just man that is poor, and do not magnify a sinful man that is rich.
27 The great man, and the judge, and the mighty is in honour: and there is none greater than he that feareth God.
28 They that are free shall serve a servant that is wise: and a man that is prudent and well instructed will not murmur when he is reproved; and he that is ignorant, shall not be honoured.
29 Extol not thyself in doing thy work, and linger not in the time of distress:
30 Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself and wanteth bread.
