Wisdom 18:23-25

Wycliffe Bible

²³ For when dead men fell down by heaps, each on (the) other, he stood betwixt dead men and living, or the dead and the quick (or the dead and the living), and cut away the fierceness of burning, and parted that way, that led to quick (or living) men. [When forsooth now heap-meal they had fallen dead, either upon other, he stood between, and cut away the force, and divided that way, that to the men alive led.]

²⁴ For why all the world was in the cloth (or the cloak) lasting to the heels, which he had; and the great things of (the) fathers were (en)graven in four orders of stones; and, Lord, thy magnificence was written in (or on) the diadem of his head. [Forsooth in the clothing of the priest(‘s) cape, that he had, was all the roundness of (the) earth’s; and the great things of (the) fathers were graven in four orders of stones; and thy great doing in (or on) the diadem of his head was written.]

²⁵ Forsooth he that destroyed, gave stead to these things, and dreaded these things, for why the temptation alone was sufficient to ire. [To these forsooth he gave stead, that destroyed, and these things he full out dreaded; forsooth there was alone sufficient tempting of wrath.]
