Sirach 10:24LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 24 of 34

"In the midst of brethren their chief is honourable: so shall they that fear the Lord, be in his eyes."
Sirach 10:24

In context

22Pride was not made for men: nor wrath for the race of women.

23That seed of men shall be honoured, which feareth God: but that seed shall be dishonoured, which transgresseth the commandments of the Lord.

24In the midst of brethren their chief is honourable: so shall they that fear the Lord, be in his eyes.

25The fear of God is the glory of the rich, and of the honourable, and of the poor:

26Despise not a just man that is poor, and do not magnify a sinful man that is rich.
