Ecclesiasticus 10:21 Context
19They that feare the Lord are a sure seed, and they that loue him, an honourable plant: they that regard not the Law, are a dishonourable seed, they that transgresse the commandements, are a deceiuable seed. 20Among brethren he that is chiefe is honourable, so are they that feare the Lord in his eyes. 21The feare of the Lord goeth before the obtayning of authoritie: but roughnesse and pride, is the loosing thereof. 22Whether hee bee rich, noble, or poore, their glorie is the feare of the Lord. 23It is not meet to despise the poore man that hath vnderstanding, neither is it conuenient to magnifie a sinnefull man.
