Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 10:13

ὅτι ἀρχὴ ὑπερηφανίας ἁμαρτία, καὶ ὁ κρατῶν αὐτῆς ἐξομβρήσει βδέλυγμα· διὰ τοῦτο παρεδόξασε Κύριος τὰς ἐπαγωγὰς καὶ κατέστρεψεν εἰς τέλος αὐτούς.
King James Version (KJV)

For pride is the beginning of sin, and he that hath it shall pour out abomination: and therefore the Lord brought upon them strange calamities, and overthrew them utterly.

Modern English

For pride is the beginning of sin, and whoever clings to it pours out abomination; therefore the Lord brought on them extraordinary disasters and utterly overthrew them.
