Sirach 2:4-6
Wycliffe Bible
4 Take thou all thing that is set to thee, and suffer thou in sorrow, and have thou patience in thy lowness. [All that to thee shall be laid to, take and in sorrow sustain, and in thy meekness have patience.]
5 For why gold and silver is proved in fire; forsooth men worthy to be received be proved in the chimney of lowness. [For in fire is proved gold and silver; men forsooth receivable in the chimney of meekness.]
6 Believe thou to God, and he shall recover thee; and (ad)dress (or direct) thou thy way, and hope thou into him. Keep thou his dread, and wax thou eld therein. [Give faith to God, and he shall recover thee; and (ad)dress thy way, and hope into him. Keep the dread of him, and in him wax old.]
