Wisdom 3:15-17

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁵ For why the fruits of good travails is glorious, and the root of wisdom that falleth not down.

¹⁶ But the sons of adulterers shall be in destroying, and the seed of a wicked bed shall be destroyed. [The sons forsooth of adulterers in ending shall be, and from the wicked bed the seed shall be outlawed.]

¹⁷ And soothly though they shall be of long life, they shall be areckoned into nought; and the last eld (age) of them shall be without honour. [And if forsooth of long life they shall be, in nought they shall be counted; and without worship shall be the last eld (age) of them.]
