| 2 | Do not praise a man for his good looks, nor loathe a man because of his appearance. | Appearances. Sir.11.2-6 | Μὴ αἰνέσῃς ἄνδρα ἐν κάλλει αὐτοῦ, καὶ μὴ βδελύξῃ ἄνθρωπον ἐν ὁράσει αὐτοῦ. |
| 3 | The bee is small among flying creatures, but her product is the best of sweet things. | μικρὰ ἐν πετεινοῖς μέλισσα, καὶ ἀρχὴ γλυκασμάτων ὁ καρπὸς αὐτῆς. | |
| 4 | Do not boast about wearing fine clothes, nor exalt yourself in the day that you are honoured; for the works of the Lord are wonderful, and his works are concealed from men. | ἐν περιβολῇ ἱματίων μὴ καυχήσῃ καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ δόξης μὴ ἐπαίρου· ὅτι θαυμαστὰ τὰ ἔργα κυρίου, καὶ κρυπτὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἀνθρώποις. | |
| 5 | Many kings have had to sit on the ground, but one who was never thought of has worn a crown. | πολλοὶ τύραννοι ἐκάθισαν ἐπὶ ἐδάφους, ὁ δὲ ἀνυπονόητος ἐφόρεσεν διάδημα. | |
| 6 | Many rulers have been greatly disgraced, and illustrious men have been handed over to others. | πολλοὶ δυνάσται ἠτιμάσθησαν σφόδρα, καὶ ἔνδοξοι παρεδόθησαν εἰς χεῖρας ἑτέρων. | |
