Sirach 10:12-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 The beginning of human pride is to forsake the Lord;
the heart has withdrawn from its Maker.(A)
13 For the beginning of pride is sin,
and the one who clings to it pours out abominations.
Therefore the Lord brought upon them unheard-of calamities
and destroyed them completely.[a]
14 The Lord overthrew the thrones of rulers
and enthroned the lowly in their place.(B)
