Ecclesiasticus 11:5 Context
3The Bee is little among such as flie, but her fruite is the chiefe of sweete things. 4Boast not of thy cloathing and raiment, and exalt not thy selfe in the day of honour: for the workes of the Lord are wonderfull, and his workes among men are hidden. 5Many kings haue sit downe vpon the ground, and one that was neuer thought of, hath worne the crowne. 6Many mightie men haue beene greatly disgraced: and the honourable deliuered into other mens hands. 7Blame not before thou hast examined the trueth: vnderstand first, and then rebuke.
