1 The wisdom of the humble shall exalt his head, and shall make him sit in the midst of great men.
2 Praise not a man for his beauty, neither despise a man for his look.
3 The bee is small among flying things, but her fruit hath the chiefest sweetness.
4 Glory not in apparel at any time, and be not exalted in the day of thy honour: for the works of the Highest only are wonderful, and his works are glorious, and secret, end hidden.
5 Many tyrants have sat on the throne, and he whom no man would think on, hath worn the crown.
6 Many mighty men have been greatly brought down, and the glorious have been delivered into the hand of others.
7 Before thou inquire, blame no man: and when thou hast inquired, reprove justly.
