10 There is not a more wicked thing than to love money: for such a one setteth even his own soul to sale: because while he liveth he hath cast away his bowels.
11 All power is of short life. A long sickness is troublesome to the physician.
12 The physician cutteth off it short sickness: so also a king is to day, and to morrow he shall die.
13 For when a man shall die, he shall inherit serpents, end beasts, and worms.
14 The beginning of the pride of man, is to fall off from God:
15 Because his heart is departed from him that made him: for pride is the beginning of all sin: be that holdeth it, shall be filled with maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end.
16 Therefore hath the Lord disgraced the assemblies of the wicked, and hath utterly destroyed them.
