Ben Sira 10:7 In-Context

5 The success of that person is in the Lord's hands. The Lord is the source of the honor given to any official.

6 Don't be angry with someone for every little thing he does wrong. Don't do anything out of injured pride.

7 Arrogance and injustice are hated by both the Lord and people.

8 Injustice, arrogance, and wealth cause nations to fall from power, and others then rise to take their place.

9 We are only dust and ashes; what have we got to be proud of? Our body decays even while we are alive.
