Sirach 21:4-6
Wycliffe Bible
4 Chidings and wrongs shall destroy chattel; and an house that is over-rich, shall be destroyed by pride; so the chattel of a proud man shall be drawn up by the root. [Against-chiding and wrongs to nought shall bring substance; and the house that full much is rich, shall be brought to nought by pride; so the substance of the proud shall be taken up by the root.]
5 The prayer of a poor man shall come from the mouth unto (the) ears of God; and doom shall come to him hastily.
6 He that hateth reproving, is (in) a step of the sinner; and (or but) he that dreadeth God, shall be turned to (him in) his heart. [Who hateth chastising, the step is of a sinner; and who dreadeth God, shall be converted to (him in) his heart.]
