Sirach 34:10-12

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁰ He that is not assayed, knoweth few things; forsooth he that is a fool in many things, shall multiply malice. [Who Is not expert (or experienced), few things knoweth; who forsooth in many things is a fool, shall multiply malice.]

¹¹ What manner things know he, that is not assayed? He that is not planted, that is, hath not set root of (or in) understanding, and desire in (or for) good, shall be plenteous in wickedness. I saw many things in telling out, and full many customs of words. [Who is not tempted, what manner things know he? Who is unplanted, shall abound shrewdness. Many things I saw in telling out, and many customs of words.]

¹² Sometime I was in peril unto death, for the cause of these things; and I was delivered by the grace of God.
