Sirach 10:6-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. You should forget all injury done to you by your neighbor, and you should do nothing among the works of injury.

7. Arrogance is hateful in the sight of God and of men. And all iniquity among the nations is abominable.

8. A kingdom is transferred from one people to another because of injustices, and injuries, and contempt, and every kind of deceit.

9. But nothing is more wicked than a greedy man. Why should that which is earth and ashes be arrogant?

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.
