Sirach 21:4

4 Alarm and insolence will strip away wealth; thus will an arrogant person's house be uprooted.

Sirach 21:4 In-Context

2 Run away from sin like you would from a snake: If you go near it, it will bite you. Its teeth are lion's teeth, destroying a person's life.
3 All lawlessness is a two-edged sword, and there's no healing for its wound.
4 Alarm and insolence will strip away wealth; thus will an arrogant person's house be uprooted.
5 The petition of the poor goes from their mouth to God's ears, and his judgment comes quickly.
6 Anyone who hates reproof walks in the footsteps of a sinner, and those who fear the Lord will turn back to him from the heart.
