Sirach 21:5-7

Wycliffe Bible

⁵ The prayer of a poor man shall come from the mouth unto (the) ears of God; and doom shall come to him hastily.

⁶ He that hateth reproving, is (in) a step of the sinner; and (or but) he that dreadeth God, shall be turned to (him in) his heart. [Who hateth chastising, the step is of a sinner; and who dreadeth God, shall be converted to (him in) his heart.]

⁷ A mighty man with an hardy tongue is known afar; and a witty man can or knoweth how to keep himself [or to slide] from that man.
