Sirach 19:23-25
Common English Bible
23 There is a kind of cleverness
that is detestable,
and there is a senseless person
who lacks wisdom.
24 Someone who fears God
but who has inferior intelligence
is better than someone
who abounds in intelligence
but who violates the Law.
25 There is cleverness that is precise
but unjust,
and there are people who abuse favors
in order to get a favorable decision.[a]
