Wisdom 1:11-13

Wycliffe Bible

¹¹ Therefore keep ye you from grudging (or from grumbling), that profiteth nothing, and from backbiting spare ye the tongue; for a dark word shall not go into vain; forsooth the mouth that lieth, slayeth the soul.

¹² Do not ye covet death, in the error of your life, neither get ye perdition in (or with) the works of your hands; [Willeth not (or Desireth not) (to) love death, in error of your life, nor purchase ye perdition in the works of your hands;]

¹³ for God made not death, neither he is glad in the perdition of living men. [for God made not death, nor gladdeth in the losing (or in the destroying) of men alive.]
