Ecclesiasticus 10:18

Ecclesiasticus 10:18 Context

¹⁵The Lord hath plucked up the roots of the proud nations, and planted the lowly in their place. ¹⁶The Lord overthrew countries of the heathen, and destroyed them to the foundations of the earth. ¹⁷He took some of them away, and destroyed them, and hath made their memorial to cease from the earth. ¹⁸Pride was not made for men, nor furious anger for them that are born of a woman. ¹⁹They that fear the Lord are a sure seed, and they that love him an honourable plant: they that regard not the law are a dishonourable seed; they that transgress the commandments are a deceivable seed. ²⁰Among brethren he that is chief is honorable; so are they that fear the Lord in his eyes. ²¹The fear of the Lord goeth before the obtaining of authority: but roughness and pride is the losing thereof.
