Sirach 10:12–13

New Revised Standard Version: Updated EditionOther versions

12The beginning of human pride is to forsake the Lord;

the heart has withdrawn from its Maker.*

13For the beginning of pride is sin,

and the one who clings to it pours out abominations.

Therefore the Lord brought upon them unheard-of calamities

and destroyed them completely.l
