Sirach 21:7-9

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ A mighty man with an hardy tongue is known afar; and a witty man can or knoweth how to keep himself [or to slide] from that man.

⁸ He that buildeth his house with other men’s costs, is as he that gathereth his stones in winter.

⁹ Sheaves or stubble, [or flax top(s)], gathered together is the synagogue of sinners; and the ending of them is the flame of fire.
