Sirach 10:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ For when a man shall die, he shall inherit serpents, and beasts, and worms.

¹⁴ The beginning of the pride of man, is to fall off from God:

¹⁵ Because his heart is departed from him that made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: he that holdeth it, shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end.
