Sirach 2:2-4

Wycliffe Bible

² Bear down thine heart, and suffer, and bow down thine ear, and take the words of understanding, and haste thou not into the time of death. [Bear down thine heart, and suffer, and bow in thine ear, and undertake the words of understanding, and hie thou not in time of oppressing.]

³ Suffer thou the sustainings of God; be thou joined to God, and abide thou, (so) that thy life wax, (or grow, or increase) in the last time.

⁴ Take thou all thing that is set to thee, and suffer thou in sorrow, and have thou patience in thy lowness. [All that to thee shall be laid to, take and in sorrow sustain, and in thy meekness have patience.]
