Sirach 3:26-28

Wycliffe Bible

²⁶ An hard heart shall have evil in the last time; and he that loveth peril shall perish therein. An heart that entereth by two ways, that is, that hath the knowing of good in understanding, and malice in will, shall not have prosperities, either rest; and a man of shrewd (or depraved) heart, shall be slandered in those (or shall be caused to stumble by them). [The hard heart shall have evil in the last; and that loveth peril, in it shall perish. The heart going into two ways, shall not have welsome chances; and the shrewd (or depraved) heart in them shall be caused to stumble.]

²⁷ A wicked heart shall be grieved in sorrows; and a sinner shall heap to, or add to, [or lay to], to do sin.

²⁸ Health (or Deliverance) shall not be to the synagogue of proud men; for why the thick wood of sin shall be drawn out by the root in them, and it shall not be understood, of (or by) sinners who will not think on God’s dooms. [To the synagogue of proud men shall not be health; forsooth the thick bush of sin in them shall be taken up by the root, and it shall not be understanded.]
