In context

23There is a wickedness, and the same an abomination; And there is a fool wanting in wisdom.

24He that hath small understanding, and feareth God, Is better than one that hath much wisdom, and transgresseth the law of the most High.

— Sirach 19:25 —

26There is a wicked man that hangeth down his head sadly; But inwardly he is full of deceit,

27Casting down his countenance, and making as if he heard not: Where he is not known, he will do thee a mischief before thou be aware.
