Sirach 12:15-17
Wycliffe Bible
15 In one hour he shall dwell with thee; soothly if thou bowest away, he shall not bear up. [One hour with thee he shall abide still; if forsooth thou bow down, he shall not under-bear.]
16 The enemy maketh sweet in (or with) his lips, and in his heart he setteth treason to overturn thee into the ditch. The enemy weepeth in (or with) his eyes; and (or but) if he findeth (the) time, he shall not be filled of (or with) (enough) blood [or he shall not be full-filled with blood].
17 If evils befall to thee [or If there shall fall to thee evils], thou shalt find him the former (or the first) there. The enemy shall weep before thine eyes, and he as helping shall undermine thy feet.
