Sirach 38:34

34 But they support the world from its foundations, and their prayer is concerned with their craft. But those who devote themselves and think about the Law of the Most High are the exception.

Sirach 38:34 In-Context

32 Without them a city can't be inhabited, and they neither go abroad to live as immigrants nor travel about. However, they aren't sought out when the people hold a council,
33 and they won't gain prominence in the assembly. They won't sit in the judge's seat, and they won't understand the disposition of a legal case. They will never shed light on instruction and judgment, and their words won't be memorialized in proverbs.
34 But they support the world from its foundations, and their prayer is concerned with their craft. But those who devote themselves and think about the Law of the Most High are the exception.
