Sirach 10:13
Print
The beginning of arrogance is sin, and those who cling to it will pour out blasphemy. For this reason the Lord brings calamities upon them, and he ruins them completely.
For when a man shall die, he shall inherit serpents, and beasts, and worms.
Pride is like a fountain pouring out sin, and whoever persists in it will be full of wickedness. That is why the Lord brought terrible punishments on some people and completely destroyed them.
For sin is a reservoir of insolence, a source which runs over with vice; Because of it God sends unheard-of afflictions and strikes people with utter ruin.
For pride is the beginning of sin, and those who cling to it pour forth filth. For this reason God afflicts them with unheard-of calamities and destroys them completely.
For the beginning of pride is sin, and the one who clings to it pours out abominations. Therefore the Lord brings upon them unheard-of calamities, and destroys them completely.

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.]
