Sirach 6:4-6
Wycliffe Bible
4 Forsooth a wicked soul shall lose him that hath it, and it giveth him into the joy of the enemy, and it shall lead forth into the part of wicked men. [A shrewd (or depraved) forsooth soul shall destroy him that hath it, and into joy of his enemy it giveth him, and shall bring down into the lot of unpious men.]
5 A sweet word multiplieth friends, and assuageth enemies; and a tongue well gracious shall be plenteous in a good man. [A sweet word multiplieth friends, and assuageth enemies; and a gracious tongue in a good man shall abound.]
6 Many peaceable men be to thee, and (or but) one (out) of a thousand be a counsellor to thee. [Many peaceable be to thee, and counsellor be to thee one of a thousand.]
