"FOR THE DISEASE OF THE PROUD THERE IS NO CURE, SINCE AN EVIL GROWTH HAS TAKEN PLACE THERE." (THE NEW JERUSALEM BIBLE: ECCLESIASTICUS CHAPT. 3:28).
HERE IS MORE, JOSEPH:
... "DO NOT ACT A PART IN PUBLIC, KEEP WATCH OVER YOUR LIPS."
DO NOT GROW TO HIGH AND MIGHTY, FOR FEAR YOU FALL AND COVER YOURSELF IN DISGRACE; FOR THE LORD WOULD THEN REVEAL YOUR SECRETS, AND OVERTHROW YOU BEFORE THE WHOLE COMMUNITY, FOR NOT HAVING PRACTICE FEAR OF THE LORD AND FOR HAVING A HEART FULL OF DECEIT." (ECCLESIASTICS CHAPT. 1:29,30)
ECCLESIASTICS IS THE BOOK AFTER WISDOM IN THE NEW JERUSALEM BIBLE . (JRSL-UCYG)
