Ben Sira 3:24

24 Many people have been misled by their own opinions; their wrong ideas have warped their judgment.

Ben Sira 3:24 In-Context

22 Concentrate on the Law, which has been given to you. You do not need to know about things which the Lord has not revealed,
23 so don't concern yourself with them. After all, what has been shown to you is beyond human power to understand.
24 Many people have been misled by their own opinions; their wrong ideas have warped their judgment.
26 Stubbornness will get you into trouble at the end. If you live dangerously, it will kill you.
