Wycliffe Bible

[In the hand of craftsmen works shall be praised, and the prince of a people in wisdom of his sermon; in the wit forsooth of elders a word.]

¹⁸ A man, a jangler is dreadful in his city; and a fool-hardy man in his word shall be hateful. [Fearful is in his city a tonguey man; and the fool-hardy in his word hateful shall be.]
