Sirach 3:23-25

Wycliffe Bible

²³ In superfluous things do not thou seek many-fold; and be thou not curious in (the) many works of him; for why full many things above the wit of men be showed to thee. [In overvoid things do thou not ensearch many-fold; and in many works of him thou shalt not be curious; many forsooth things over the wit of men be showed to them.]

²⁴ For the suspicion of many men hath deceived them(selves), and withheld their wits in vanity. [Many forsooth supplanted the suspicion of them, and in vanity held down the wits of them.]

²⁵ (This verse is omitted in the original text.)
