Wisdom 19:16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ Forsooth they that used the same ordinances, tormented with cruelest sorrows them, that received with gladness. [Who forsooth with gladness received them, that had used the same informings, with most cruel sorrows they tormented.]

¹⁷ Forsooth they were smitten with blindness, as they in the gates of the just man, when they were covered with sudden darknesses; each man sought the passing (out) of his (own) door. [Smitten forsooth they be with blindness, as they in the gates of the rightwise, with sudden darknesses, when they be covered; each one sought the passing out of his door.]

¹⁸ Forsooth while elements be turned into themselves, as the sound of manner is changed in (an) organ, and (yet) all things keep their sound; wherefore it may be guessed of that certain sight. [Into themselves forsooth while the elements be turned, as in an organ of quality the sound is changed, and all keep their sound; wherefore of that certain sight it may be estimated.]
