{10:9} But nothing is more wicked than a greedy man. Why should that which is earth and ashes be arrogant?
{10:10} There is nothing more iniquitous than to love money. For such a one has sold even his own soul. For in his life, he casts aside his innermost being.
{10:11} All power is of short life. A prolonged sickness is of grave concern to a physician.
{10:12} A physician causes a sickness to be shortened. So also, a king is here today, and tomorrow he will die.
{10:13} For when a man dies, he will inherit serpents, and wild beasts, and worms.
{10:14} The beginning of the arrogance of man is apostasy from God.
