Sirach 19:26

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

²⁵There is an exquisite subtilty, and the same is unjust; and there is one that turneth aside to make judgment appear; and there is a wise man that justifieth in judgment.

— Sirach 19:26 —

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.

²⁸And if for want of power he be hindered from sinning, yet when he findeth opportunity he will do evil.
