"Into things beyond your strength search not."

I thought the Sunday scripture reading from the Book of Sirach was wise advice for just about everyone. And I also dug the Yoda syntax in the third line.

My child, conduct your affairs with humility, and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts.
Humble yourself the more, the greater you are, and you will find favor with God.
What is too sublime for you, seek not, into things beyond your strength search not.
The mind of a sage appreciates proverbs, and an attentive ear is the wise man's joy.
Water quenches a flaming fire, and alms atone for sins.
