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 subtlety, and the same is unjust; And there is one that turneth aside to make judgment appear.

— 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.
