Sirach 40:26-28

1. 26 Riches and strength lift up the heart: but the fear of the Lord is above them both: there is no want in the fear of the Lord, and it needeth not to seek help.

2. 27 The fear of the Lord is a fruitful garden, and covereth him above all glory.

3. 28 My son, lead not a beggar's life; for better it is to die than to beg.
