Sirach 14:18-20

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁸ Each man shall wax eld [or old] as hay, and as a leaf bringing fruit in a green tree. Others be (en)gendered, and others be cast [or fall] down; so the generation of flesh and blood, another is ended, and another is born.

¹⁹ Each corruptible work shall fail in the end; and he that worketh it, shall go with it. And all chosen work shall be justified; and he that worketh it, shall be honoured in (or by) it. [Each corruptible work in the end shall fail; and he that worketh it, shall go with it. And each chosen work shall be justified; and he that worketh it, shall be worshipped in it.]

²⁰ Blessed is the man, that shall dwell in wisdom, and that shall bethink in rightfulness, and shall think in wit (about) the beholding of God. [Blessful the man, that shall dwell in wisdom, and that in rightwiseness sweetly shall think, and in wit shall think the looking about of God.]
