Sirach 10:11-13

Wycliffe Bible

¹¹ Forsooth when a man shall die, he shall inherit serpents, and beasts, and worms.

¹² The beginning of (the) pride of man was to be apostate from God; for his heart went away from him that made him. [The beginning of the pride of man to go backward from God; for from him that made him his heart went away.]

¹³ For why pride is the beginning of all sin; he that holdeth it, shall be filled with cursings, and it shall destroy him into the end. Therefore the Lord hath shamed the convents (or the gatherings) of evil men, and hath destroyed them unto the end. [For the beginning of all sin is pride; who shall hold it, shall be full-filled with curses, and it shall turn him upside-down into the end. Therefore the Lord despised the convents of evil men, and destroyed them unto the end.]
