Sirach 33:12-14

Wycliffe Bible

¹² (Some) Of them God blessed, and enhanced (or exalted); and (some) of them he hallowed, and chose to (or for) himself; (some) of them he cursed, and made low, and turned them from the departing of them. [And of them he blessed, and enhanced; and of them he hallowed, and to himself he presented; of them he cursed, and meeked, and turned them to the severing of them.]

¹³ As (the) clay of a potter is in the hand of him, to make and dispose, (so) that all the ways thereof be after the ordinance of him; so a man is in the hand of him that made him; and he shall yield to him by his doom. [As the clay of the crocker in the hand of him to form and to dispose it, all the ways of it after his disposition; so a man in his hand that made him; and he shall yield to them after his doom.]

¹⁴ Against evil is good, and against life is death; so and a sinner is against a just man [or the rightwise].
