Sirach 18:12-14

Wycliffe Bible

¹² He saw the presumption, [or pride], of their heart, for it was evil; and he knew the destroying of them, for it was wicked, [or shrewd, (or depraved)]. Therefore he filled his mercy in them, and showed to them the way of equity.

¹³ The merciful doing of man is about his neighbour; but the mercy of the Lord is over each flesh. He that hath mercy, and teacheth, and chastiseth as a shepherd his flock, [The mercy doing of man about his neighbour; the mercy forsooth of the Lord upon all flesh. He that hath mercy, and learneth, and teacheth, as a shepherd his flock,]

¹⁴ do he mercy, taking the teaching of merciful doing; and he that hast(en)eth in the dooms thereof. [have he mercy, taking out doctrine of mercy doing; and that hie in the dooms of him.]
