Sirach 19:23-25

Wycliffe Bible

²³ There is wickedness of prudence, and cursedness is therein; and there is an unwise man, which is made little in wisdom. [There is shrewdness (or depravity) of prudence, and in it cursing; and there is an unwise man, that is less(en)ed in wisdom.]

²⁴ Better is a man that hath little wisdom, and failing in wit, in the dread of God, than he that hath plenty of wit, and breaketh the law of the Highest. [Better is a man that is less(en)ed in wisdom, and failing wit in the dread of God, than that aboundeth in wit, and over-passeth the law of the Highest.]

²⁵ There is (a) certain subtlety [or slyness], and it is wicked. And there is a man, that sendeth out a certain word, telling out (the) truth.
