Sirach 10:22-24

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²² The rich, and the eminent, and the poor—
    their glory is the fear of the Lord.
²³ It is not right to despise one who is intelligent but poor,
    and it is not proper to honor one who is sinful.
²⁴ The prince and the judge and the ruler are honored,
    but none of them is greater than the one who fears the Lord.
