Wisdom 15:8-10

Wycliffe Bible

⁸ And (then) he that was made of earth a little before, maketh a god of the same clay with vain travail; and the potter, asked to yield the debt of the soul which he had, leadeth himself after a little time (back) to the earth, from whence he was taken. [And with vain travail (a) god he maketh (out) of the same clay, he that a little before of earth was made; and after a little he leadeth himself (from) whence he is taken, again asked (for) the debt of the soul that he had.]

⁹ But he hath care, not for he shall travail, neither for his life is short, but he striveth with goldsmiths and silversmiths; but also he (pur)sueth workers of brass, and setteth before glory; for he maketh superfluous things. [But and there is care to him, not for he is to travail, nor for his life is short, but that men (dis)pute with goldsmiths and silversmiths; but and metal makers he followeth, and glory he beareth before; for things overvoid he maketh.]

¹⁰ For the heart of him is ashes, and superfluous earth is his hope, and his life is viler [or fouler] than clay.
