Sirach 41:12-14

Wycliffe Bible

¹² Have thou busyness of (or for) a good name; for why this shall dwell more with thee, than a thousand treasures great and precious. [Care have thou of a good name; that forsooth more shall abide still with thee, than a thousand great treasures and precious.]

¹³ The number of days is the term of (a) good life; but a good name shall dwell without end. [Of (a) good life (is) the number of days; forsooth (a) good name shall abide still into the spiritual world.]

¹⁴ Sons, keep ye teaching in peace; for why wisdom hid, and treasure unseen, what profit is in ever either? [Discipline in peace keepeth, ye sons; hid forsooth wisdom, and treasure unseen, what profit in ever either?]
