Sirach 10:16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ The Lord destroyed the lands of folks; and lost those unto the foundament (or destroyed them unto the foundation of the earth). [The lands of Gentiles the Lord turned away; and destroyed them unto the foundament.]

¹⁷ He made dry the roots of them, and lost (or destroyed) them; and made the mind of them (or their memory) to cease from the earth. God lost the mind of proud men; and left the mind of meek men in wit (God destroyed the memory of the proud; but left the memory of the humble).

¹⁸ Pride was not made to (or for) men; neither wrathfulness to (or for) the nation of women, that is, to all men born of women.
