Sirach 20:1-3

Wycliffe Bible

20 There is false reproving in the ire of a man full of despising; and there is doom which is not proved to be good; and there is a still man, and he is prudent. [There is lying correction in wrath of the wrongful; and there is doom that is not proved to be good; and there is a bearer (or a person being) still, and he is prudent.]

² It is full good to reprove, more than to be wroth, and to forbid not a man acknowledging in prayer. [How good (it) is to reprove, than to wrath, and to not forbid the acknowledger in orison.]

³ The covetousness of a gelding hath defouled the maidenhood of a young woman, so (or is as) he that maketh wicked doom by violence. [The lust of the gelding deflowered the young woman, or (made her) bereft of her maidenhood, so he that doeth by force wicked doom.]
