Wisdom of Ben Sira 10:25-27
New Catholic Bible
25 When those who are free serve a wise servant,
an intelligent man will not complain.
Value Yourself at Your True Worth[a]
26 Do not flaunt your wisdom in doing your work,
and do not put on airs when you are in need.
27 Better the diligent worker who has plenty of everything
than one who boasts on an empty stomach.
