Wisdom 10:7-9

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ For which wicked men the land smoking is made desert, into witnessing of waywardness, [or shrewdness, (or depravity)], and trees having fruits in uncertain time; and the mind of an unbelieveful soul standing an image of salt.

⁸ For why men passing (by, or ignoring) wisdom, not only fell in this, that they knew not goods [or (the) good things], but also they left to men the mind of their unwisdom, (so) that in these sins, which they did, they might not be hid.

⁹ Forsooth wisdom delivered them from sorrows, that keep it.
