¹⁷ My child, perform your tasks with humility;
   then you will be loved by those whom God accepts.
¹⁸ The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself;
   so you will find favour in the sight of the Lord.
²⁰ For great is the might of the Lord;
   but by the humble he is glorified.
²¹ Neither seek what is too difficult for you,
   nor investigate what is beyond your power.
²² Reflect upon what you have been commanded,
   for what is hidden is not your concern.
²³ Do not meddle in matters that are beyond you,
   for more than you can understand has been shown to you.
²⁴ For their conceit has led many astray,
   and wrong opinion has impaired their judgement.
