Wisdom of Ben Sira 19:23-25

New Catholic Bible

²³ There is a cleverness that is foul;
    however, he who does not have wisdom is a fool.
²⁴ It is better to be short of sense and God-fearing
    than to be highly intelligent and violate the law.
²⁵ There is a cleverness that is scrupulous but dishonest,
    and there are those who abuse favors to win a favorable decision.
