6 Don’t become angry with your neighbor over every wrong,and don’t do anything that offersa flagrant insult.
7 Arrogance is hateful to God and people,and injustice is wrong to both.
8 Sovereignty passes fromnation to nationbecause 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.
12 Human arrogance begins when people rebel against the Lord,and their hearts rebelagainst the one who made them.
