Wisdom 17:1-2

Wycliffe Bible

17 Forsooth, Lord, thy dooms be great, and thy words may not be (or be not able to be) fully told out; unlearned souls erred for these. [Forsooth great be thy dooms, Lord, and untellable thy words; for these the undisciplined souls erred.]

² For the while wicked men hold for steadfast, (so) that they may be lords of (the) holy nation, they were fettered with bonds of darknesses, and of long night, and were closed under roofs; and they fugitives were subject to everlasting purveyance. [While forsooth wicked men have full proved, to be able to lordship to the holy nation, in bonds of darknesses, and of long night gyved, enclosed under roofs, fugitive to perpetual providence, pleased.]
