Sirach 17:22-24

Wycliffe Bible

²² The alms of a man is as a bag [or as a little sack] with him, and it shall keep the grace of a man as the apple of the eye;

²³ and afterward man shall rise again, and it shall yield to them a yielding, to each man into (or onto) the head of them; and (it) shall (re)turn into the lower parts of (the) earth. [and afterward it shall rise again, and yield to them yielding, to each into the head of them; and turn into the lower parts of the earth.]

²⁴ Forsooth it gave to men repenting the way of rightfulness, and confirmed men failing to suffer, and ordained to them the part of truth. [To men doing penance forsooth he gave the way of rightwiseness, and confirmed men failing to suffer, and ordained to them the lot of truth.]
