Sirach 10:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ 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. ^14 (A)The Lord has overthrown kings and put humbler people in their place. ¹⁵ The Lord has pulled up nations by the roots and established humbler ones in their place.
