Sirach 10:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Arrogance is hateful to God and people,
    and injustice is wrong to both.
⁸ Sovereignty passes from
nation to nation
    because of injustice, pride, and money.^[a]
9 How can dust and ashes be arrogant?
    Even when they are alive,
    human bodies are decaying.^[b]
