Sirach 10:8-10
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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]
10 A long illness baffles the physician;[c]
the king of today will die tomorrow.
