Sirach 19:24-26
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
24 Better is the God-fearing man who lacks intelligence,
than the highly prudent man who transgresses the law.
25 There is a cleverness which is scrupulous but unjust,
and there are people who distort kindness to gain a verdict.
26 There is a rascal bowed down in mourning,[a]
but inwardly he is full of deceit.
