Sirach 10:10 In-Context

8 Sovereignty passes from nation to nation because of injustice, pride, and money.

9 How can dust and ashes be arrogant? Even when they are alive, human bodies are decaying.

10 A long illness mocks a doctor; today's king will die tomorrow.

11 When people are dead, they inherit maggots, vermin, and worms.
