Sirach 9:15-17

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁵ Just men be guests, or meat-frères, (or meal companions), to thee; and thy glorying be in the dread of God. [Rightwise men be they to thee meat-fellows; and in the dread of God be to thee glorying.]

¹⁶ And the thought of God be to thee in wit, that is, apply thy wit to think on God; and all thy telling be in the behests (or about the commands) of the Highest. [And in the wit be to thee thinking of God; and all thy telling-out in the behests of the Highest.]

¹⁷ Works shall be praised in (or from) the hand of craftsmen, and the prince of the people in the wisdom of his word; forsooth in the wit of elder men a word shall be praised. [In the hand of craftsmen works shall be praised, and the prince of a people in wisdom of his sermon; in the wit forsooth of elders a word.]
