Sirach 40:16-18

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁶ Greenness beside each water; and at the brink of the flood it shall be drawn out by the root before all (the) hay. [Upon each water greenness; and at the hour of the flood before all the hay it shall be pulled up.]

¹⁷ Grace as paradise in blessings; and mercy dwelleth into the world (or forever).

¹⁸ The life of a workman sufficient to himself shall be made sweet; and thou shalt find treasure therein.
