Sirach 10:14LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 14 of 34

"The beginning of the pride of man, is to fall off from God:"
Sirach 10:14

In context

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.

16Therefore hath the Lord disgraced the assemblies of the wicked, and hath utterly destroyed them.
