Sirach 19:24-26

Wycliffe Bible

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.

²⁶ There is a man that meeketh himself wickedly to deceive men the more; and his inner things be full of guile. [There is, that shrewdly meeketh himself; and the entrails of him be full of treachery.]
