The Sin of Pride (By Ben Sira)

The beginning of human pride is the forsaking of the Lord,
the withdrawal of one’s heart from its Maker. 
For pride is the beginning of sin, and those who cling to it pour forth filth.
For this reason they are afflicted with unheard-of calamities and are destroyed completely. 
The Lord overthrows the throne of rulers and seats the humble in their place. 
The Lord plucks up the roots of the nations and plants the lowly in their place. 
Pride was not created for men, nor violent anger for one born of woman. 

Arrogance is hateful in the sight of both the Lord and man, and injustice is abhorrent to both. Sovereignty passes from nation to nation as the result of injustice, arrogance, and wealth. 
Do not envy the success of a sinner, for you can never be sure what his end will be.
Take no delight in the pleasures of an ungodly man;
remember that before his death he will endure some retribution.
Keep far removed from anyone who has the power to kill,
and you will not be haunted by the fear of death.

We pray that God fills us all with His Wisdom and Divine Light in the Holy Spirit 
so that we do not fall prey to our enemy, the devil. 
Amen.
