Sirach 5:6-8

Wycliffe Bible

⁶ And say thou not, The merciful doing of God is great; he shall have mercy on the multitude of my sins. For why mercy and ire nigheth (or approacheth) soon from him, and his ire beholdeth on sinners. [And say thou not, The mercy of God is great; of the multitude of my sins he shall have mercy. Mercy forsooth and wrath from him soon nigheth (or approacheth), and into sinners beholdeth the wrath of him.]

⁷ Tarry thou not to be converted to the Lord, and delay thou not from day into day. For why his ire shall come suddenly, and he shall lose (or shall destroy) thee in the time of vengeance. [Not tarry thou to be converted to the Lord, and not put thou it off from day into day. Suddenly forsooth shall come the wrath of him, and in time of vengeance he shall destroy thee.]

⁸ Do not thou be anguished in unjust riches; for those shall not profit in the day of failing, either of death, and of vengeance. [Do not thou be anguished in unright riches; forsooth they shall not profit in the day of death, and of vengeances.]
