Sirach 19:21

DRA
Better is a man that hath less wisdom, and wanteth understanding, with the fear of God, than he that aboundeth in understanding, and transgresseth the law of the most High.
NCB
If a servant says to his master, “I will not do what you want,” even if later he does it, he angers the man who has him in his care.]
