Sirach 26:27-29

Wycliffe Bible

²⁷ (This verse is omitted in the original text.)

²⁸ In two things mine heart was made sorry, and in the third thing wrathfulness came to me. A man warrior failing by neediness, and a wise man despised. And God hath made him ready to (or for) the sword, that passeth over from rightfulness to sin. [In two things mine heart is made sorrowful, and in the third wrathing to me came. A man fighter failing by mis-ease, and a man well feeling, or perceiving, despised. And that over-goeth from rightwiseness to sin, God prepared him to (or for) a two-biting sword.]

²⁹ Two species appeared hard and perilous to me; a merchant is delivered of hard from his negligence [or hard is delivered the chafferer from his negligence], and a taverner shall not be justified of [or from] (the) sins of lips.
