Sirach 19:24-26
Common English Bible
24 Someone who fears God
but who has inferior intelligence
is better than someone
who abounds in intelligence
but who violates the Law.
25 There is cleverness that is precise
but unjust,
and there are people who abuse favors
in order to get a favorable decision.[a]
26 And there are people who act wickedly, bowed down gloomily,
and their insides are full of treachery.
