Sirach 10:13LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 13 of 34
"For when a man shall die, he shall inherit serpents, and beasts, and worms."
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.
