Letter of Jeremiah 58-60

Wycliffe Bible

⁵⁸ They shall take away gold, and silver and cloth(es), by which those be covered, and (then) they shall go away; neither they (be able to) help themselves. [They shall take away from them gold, and silver and clothing, by which they be covered, and they shall go away; neither they bear help to themselves.]

⁵⁹ Therefore it is better to be a king showing his virtue (or his power), either [or (else)] a profitable vessel in the house, in which he shall have glory that wieldeth it, than false gods; either [or (else)] a door in the house, that keepeth those things that be in it, is better than false gods.

⁶⁰ Forsooth the sun, and moon, and stars, when they be bright [or when they be shining], and sent out to profits, obey.
