Ben Sira 3:26-29

26 A stubborn mind will be afflicted at the end, and whoever loves danger will perish by it.

27 A stubborn mind will be burdened by troubles, and the sinner will heap sin upon sin.

28 The affliction of the proud has no healing, for a plant of wickedness has taken root in him.

29 The mind of the intelligent man will ponder a parable, and an attentive ear is the wise man's desire.
