Jeremiah 18:10Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingIf it doeth evil before mine eyes, that it hear not my voice, I shall do penance on the good which I spake, that I should do to it. See the chapter |
Forsooth if a just man turneth away himself from his rightfulness [or rightwiseness], and doeth wickedness by all his abominations, which a wicked man is wont to work, whether he shall live? All his rightfulnesses [or rightwisenesses] which he did, shall not be had in mind; in his trespassing by which he trespassed, and in his sin which he sinned, he shall die in those [or them].
Therefore thou, son of man, say to the sons of thy people, The rightfulness [or rightwiseness] of a rightful man shall not deliver him, in whatever day he doeth sin; and the wickedness of a wicked man shall not annoy him, in whatever day he is converted from his wickedness; and a just man shall not be able to live in his rightfulness [or rightwiseness], in whatever day he doeth sin.
Therefore the Lord God of Israel saith these things, I speaking spake, that thine house, and the house of thy father, should minister in my sight till into without end; now forsooth the Lord saith, Far be this from me; but whoever honoureth me, I shall glorify him; forsooth they that despise me, shall be unnoble.
