Wisdom of Ben Sira 10:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ Better the diligent worker who has plenty of everything
    than one who boasts on an empty stomach.
²⁸ My child, in the practice of humility do not neglect your self-respect;
    value yourself at your true worth.
²⁹ Who will acquit one who condemns himself?
    Who will honor one who holds himself in low esteem?
