Sirach 33:17-19

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁷ Behold ye, for I travailed not to (or for) me alone, but to all that seek cunning, (or knowing, or knowledge), [or discipline].

¹⁸ Great men, and all peoples hear ye me; and ye governors of the church, perceive with ears. [Heareth me, ye great men, and all peoples; and ye governors of the church, with ears perceive.]

¹⁹ Give thou not power over thee in thy life to a son, and to a woman, to a brother, and to a friend; and give thou not thy possession to another man, lest peradventure it repent thee, and thou beseech for those (again). [To son, and wife, brother, and friend, give thou not power upon thee in thy life; and give thou not to another thy possession, lest it repent thee, and thou lowly pray for them (again).]
