The poor man’s wisdom lifts his head high and sets him among princes.
Praise not a man for his looks; despise not a man for his appearance. Least is
the bee among winged things, but she reaps the choicest of all harvests. Mock
not the worn cloak and jibe at no man’s bitter day: For strange are the works
of the LORD, hidden from men his deeds. The oppressed often rise to a throne, and
some that none would consider wear a crown. The exalted often fall in utter
disgrace; the honored are given into enemy hands. Before investigating, find no
fault; examine first, then criticize. Before hearing, answer not, and interrupt
no one in the middle of his speech. Dispute not about what is not your concern.
In the strife of the arrogant take no part.
