Sirach 9:14-16

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁴ By thy virtue keep thee (away) from thy neighbour that may speak against thee to a tyrant; and treat thou with wise men and prudent men.

¹⁵ Just men be guests, or meat-frères, (or meal companions), to thee; and thy glorying be in the dread of God. [Rightwise men be they to thee meat-fellows; and in the dread of God be to thee glorying.]

¹⁶ And the thought of God be to thee in wit, that is, apply thy wit to think on God; and all thy telling be in the behests (or about the commands) of the Highest. [And in the wit be to thee thinking of God; and all thy telling-out in the behests of the Highest.]
