Wisdom 13:17-19

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁷ And he maketh a vow, and inquireth of his chattel, and of his sons, and of weddings; he is not ashamed to speak with him, that is without (a) soul;

¹⁸ and soothly for health he beseecheth a thing unmighty, and for life he prayeth (to) a thing without life, and he calleth an unprofitable thing into (or for) help. And for (a good) journey he asketh of that thing, that may not go; [and for health forsooth the feeble he beseecheth, and for life he prayeth (to) the dead, and into help he inwardly calleth the unprofitable. And for the going asketh of it, that may not go;]

¹⁹ and of getting and of working, and of (the) befalling of all things he asketh of him, which is unprofitable in all things. [and of purchasing, and of working, and of the chance of all things he asketh of it, that in all things is unprofitable.]
