20 However great you may be, humble yourself in all things, and you will find grace in the presence of God.
Sir3:18 The greater thou art, the more humble thyself, and thou shalt find favour before the Lord.
21 Many are in high place, and of renown: but mysteries are revealed unto the meek.
22 For only the power of God is great, and he is honored by the humble.
23 You should not seek the things that are too high for you, and you should not examine the things that are beyond your ability. But as for the things that God has entrusted to you, consider these always. But you should not be curious in too many of his works.
Sir3:21 Seek not out things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are above thy strength.
24 For it is not necessary for you to see with your own eyes the things that are hidden.
Sir3:22 But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with reverence, for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the things that are in secret.
25 In unnecessary matters, do not choose to be an examiner of many different things, and you should not be curious about too many of his works.
Sir3:23 Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand.
