Sirach 10:7-9
Common English Bible

7 Arrogance is hateful to God and people,
    and injustice is wrong to both.
8 Sovereignty passes from
nation to nation
    because of injustice, pride, and money.[a]
9 How can dust and ashes be arrogant?
    Even when they are alive,
    human bodies are decaying.[b]
