Sirach 24:6-8

Wycliffe Bible

⁶ and I went in the waves of the sea, and I stood in (or on) all the land. And I had the first dignity in each people, and in each folk; and I trod by virtue (or power) on the necks of all excellent men and meek; [and in the floods of the sea I went, and in all earth I stood. And in all people, and in all folk of kind the firsthood I had; and of all high and low the hearts by virtue I trod;]

⁷ and in all these men I sought rest, and I shall dwell in the heritage of the Lord. [and in all these things rest I sought, and in the heritage of him I shall dwell.]

⁸ Then the Creator of all commanded, and said to me; and he that formed me, rested in my tabernacle; and he said to me, Dwell thou in Jacob, and take thou heritage in Israel, and send thou roots in(to) my chosen men. [Then commanded, and said to me, the Former of all things; and he that formed me, rested in my tabernacle; and said to me, In Jacob dwell thou, and in Israel heritage thou, and in(to) my chosen put roots.]
