Wisdom 4:4-6

Wycliffe Bible

⁴ Though they burgeon in boughs for a time, they set unsteadfastly shall be moved of (or by) the wind, and they shall be drawn out by the root of the greatness of winds. [And if in the branches in the time burgeon, unstably set of the wind they shall be all-stirred, and of the muchliness of winds pulled up by the roots.]

⁵ For why boughs unperfect shall be broken (al)together; and the fruits of them be unprofitable, and sour to eat, and covenable to (or suitable for) nothing. [Forsooth branches unended shall be broken; and the fruits of them unprofitable, and sour to eat, and to nothing able.]

⁶ For why all (the) sons, that be born of wicked men, be witnesses of wickedness against fathers and mothers, in their asking.
