Sirach 11:3-5

1. 3 The bee is little among such as fly; but her fruit is the chief of sweet things.

2. 4 Boast not of thy clothing and raiment, and exalt not thyself in the day of honour: for the works of the Lord are wonderful, and his works among men are hidden.

3. 5 Many kings have sat down upon the ground; and one that was never thought of hath worn the crown.
