Sirach 4:16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ If a man believeth to it, he shall dwell, and inherit it; and the creatures of them shall be in confirming, that is, the works of them shall be confirmed in good. [If he shall give faith to it, he shall abide still, and heritage it; and the creatures of them shall be in fastening together.]

¹⁷ For in temptation it goeth with him, and among the first it chooseth him. It shall bring in on him dread, and fear, and proving, and it shall torment him in the tribulation of his doctrine, till it tempt him in his thoughts, and (it) believe to (or in) his soul. [For in temptation it goeth with him, and in the first things it choose him. Dread, and fear, and proving it shall bring in upon him, and shall torment him in tribulation of his teaching, to the time that it tempt him in his thoughts, and he believe to his soul.]

¹⁸ And it shall make him steadfast, and shall bring (the) right way to him, and it shall make him glad; and shall make naked his privates to him (or shall make open his secrets to him), and shall treasure on him cunning (or knowing), and understanding of rightfulness. [And it shall fasten him, and a right even way bring to him, and gladden him; and nakened his hid things to him, and treasure upon him cunning, and understanding of rightwiseness.]
