1 Esdras 4:14-16

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁴ O men! the king is not great, neither many other men, nor wine (sur)passeth before; who is it then that hath lordship of them?

¹⁵ Whether not women, that have (be)gotten kings, and all the people, the which kings have lordship both of (the) sea and of (the) land, and of women they be born? [Whether not women begat the king, and all the people, that lordship to the sea, and to the earth, and of them be borne?]

¹⁶ And they brought forth them that planted vines, of the which wine is made.
