Wisdom 4:17-19

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁷ For they shall see the end of a wise man, and they shall not understand, what thing God thought of him, and why the Lord made him less. [Forsooth they shall see the end of the wise man, and they shall not understand, what God hath thought of him, and why the Lord diminished him.]

¹⁸ For they shall see, and shall despise him; but the Lord shall scorn them. And after these things they shall be falling down without honour, and in despising among dead men without end. [They shall see, and despise him; them forsooth the Lord shall scorn. And they shall be after these things falling down without worship, and in wrong blaming among the dead into without end.]

¹⁹ For he shall all-break them swollen without voice, and he shall move them from the foundaments (or the foundations); and they shall be desolate till to the last thing. And they shall be wailing, and the mind (or the memory) of them shall perish. [For them inwardly blown he shall all-break without voice, and stir them from the foundaments; and unto the highest they shall be desolate. And they shall be wailing, and the mind (or the memory) of them shall perish.]
