Sirach 10:13-15

Wycliffe Bible

¹³ 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.]

¹⁴ God destroyed the seats (or the thrones) of proud dukes; and made mild men to sit for them.

¹⁵ God made dry the roots of proud folks; and planted meek men of those folks.
