Sirach 10:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
7 Arrogance is hateful to the Lord and to mortals,
and injustice is outrageous to both.
8 Sovereignty passes from nation to nation
on account of injustice and insolence and wealth.[a]
9 How can dust and ashes be proud?
Even in life the human body decays.[b]
