Sirach 10:13LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 13 of 34

"For when a man shall die, he shall inherit serpents, and beasts, and worms."
Sirach 10:13

In context

11All power is of short life. A long sickness is troublesome to the physician.

12The physician cutteth off it short sickness: so also a king is today, and tomorrow he shall die.

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

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

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