Sira | Wycliffe | 12:13 | Who schal do medecyn to an enchauntere smytun of a serpent, and to alle men that neiyen to beestis, and to him that goith with an yuel man, and is wlappid in the synnes of him? | |
Sira | Wycliffe | 12:14 | In oon our he schal dwelle with thee; sotheli if thou bowist awei, he schal not bere vp. | |
Sira | Wycliffe | 12:15 | The enemy makith swete in hise lippis, and in his herte he settith tresoun to ouerturne thee in to the dich. | |
Sira | Wycliffe | 12:16 | The enemy wepith in hise iyen; and if he fyndith tyme, he schal not be fillid of blood. | |
Sira | Wycliffe | 12:18 | The enemy schal wepe bifore thin iyen, and he as helpynge schal vndurmyne thi feet. | |
