Sirach 31:22-24

Wycliffe Bible

²² Son, hear thou me, and despise thou not me; and at the last thou shalt find (that) my words (be true). In all thy works be thou swift; and all sickness shall not come to thee.

²³ The lips of many men shall bless a shining man in loaves; and the witnessing of his truth is faithful. [The shining in loaves the lips of many shall bless; and the witnessing of the truth of him faithful.]

²⁴ The city shall grudge (or grumble) in the worst bread; and the witnessing of wickedness thereof is sooth. [In the most wicked bread grudged the city; and the witnessing of the wickedness of it is very (or it is true).]
