Sirach 10:31LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 31 of 34

"My son, keep thy soul in meekness, and give it honour according to its desert."
Sirach 10:31

In context

29Extol not thyself in doing thy work, and linger not in the time of distress:

30Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all things, than he that boasteth himself and wanteth bread.

31My son, keep thy soul in meekness, and give it honour according to its desert.

32Who will justify him that sinneth against his own soul? and who will honour him that dishonoureth his own soul?

33The poor man is glorified by his discipline and fear: and there is a man that is honoured for his wealth.
