Ecclesiastes 9:17

Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

The words of wise men be heard in silence, more than the cry of a prince among fools.

See the chapter Copy

He that reproveth a man, shall find grace afterward with him; more than he that deceiveth by flatterings of tongue.

The words of the mouth of a wise man be grace; and the lips of an unwise man shall cast him down.

It is better to be reproved of a wise man, than to be deceived by the flattering of fools;

He shall not cry, neither he shall take a person, neither his voice shall be heard withoutforth.

He shall not be sorrowful, neither troubled, till he set doom in [the] earth, and isles shall abide his law.

And when he had said this thing, he let the people go.

for the wrath of man worketh not the rightwiseness of God.
