Sirach 6:1-3
Wycliffe Bible
6 Do not thou for a friend (or instead of a friend) be made (an) enemy to thy neighbour; for why an evil man shall inherit upbraiding and despising, and each sinner envious and double-tongued. [Do thou not be made for a friend (an) enemy to thy neighbour; reproof forsooth and strife the evil man shall heritage, and each sinner envious and twisel-tongued.]
2 Enhance thee not in the thought of thy soul, as a bull doeth; lest thy virtue be hurtled down by folly, [Not enhance thou thee in the thinking of thy soul, as a bull; lest peradventure be hurtled away thy strength by folly,]
3 and it eat thy leaves, and lose (or destroy) thy fruits, and thou be left as a dry tree in (the) desert. [and thy leaves it eat, and thy fruits it lose, and thou be left as a dry tree in wilderness.]
