6 No matter what the wrong, never harm your neighboror go the way of arrogance.
7 Odious to the Lord and to mortals is pride,and for both oppression is a crime.
8 Sovereignty is transferred from one people to anotherbecause of the lawlessness of the proud.
9 Why are dust and ashes proud?Even during life the body decays.
10 A slight illness—the doctor jests;a king today—tomorrow he is dead.
11 When a people die,they inherit corruption and worms, gnats and maggots.
12 The beginning of pride is stubbornnessin withdrawing the heart from one’s Maker.
