Sirach 19:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ And give place to the fear of the most High: for the fear of God is all wisdom, and therein is to fear God, and the disposition of the law is in all wisdom.

¹⁹ But the learning of wickedness is not wisdom: and the device of sinners is not prudence.

²⁰ There is a subtle wickedness, and the same is detestable: and there is a man that is foolish, wanting in wisdom.
