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.
17 God hath overturned the thrones of proud princes, and hath set up the meek in their stead.
