Ecclesiasticus 11:1-4 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. The wisdom of the humble shall exalt his head, and shall make him sit in the midst of great men.

2. Praise not a man for his beauty, neither despise a man for his look.

3. The bee is small among flying things, but her fruit hath the chiefest sweetness.

4. Glory not in apparel at any time, and be not exalted in the day of thy honour: for the works of the Highest only are wonderful, and his works are glorious, and secret, end hidden.
