Sirach 11:18-20

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁸ Some man there is made rich in doing scarcely, and this is the part of his meed, [There is that is made rich (in) scarcely doing, and this (is) the part of the meed of him,]

¹⁹ in that that he saith, I have found rest to (or for) me, and now I alone shall eat of my goods. And he know not that time passeth him, and death nigheth (or approacheth), and he shall leave all things to other men, and shall die [or and die].

²⁰ Stand thou in thy testament, and speak thou (al)together in it; and wax thou eld in the work of thy behests (or thy commands). [Stand in thy testament, and in it speak (al)together; and in the work of thy behests wax old.]
