Sirach 39:24-26

Wycliffe Bible

²⁴ As he turned waters into drynesses, and the earth was dried, and his ways were (ad)dressed (or directed) to the ways of them; so offensions (or stumbling blocks) in his ire be (ad)dressed (or directed) to sinners. [What manner he turned waters into drought, and the earth is dried, and the ways of it to the ways of them be forth straight; so to sinners offensions in the wrath of him.]

²⁵ Good things were made at the beginning to (or for) good men; so good things and evil be made to (or for) worst men. [Goods to good men be formed from the beginning; so to most wicked men goods and evils.]

²⁶ The beginning of needful thing(s) to the life of men, (be) water, fire, and iron, and salt, and milk, and bread of clean flour of wheat, and honey, and a cluster of grape(s), and oil, and cloth(es). [The beginning of necessary thing(s) to the life of men, (be) water, fire, iron, and salt, and milk, and bread of tried flour, and honey, and cluster of grape(s), and oil, and clothing.]
