Ben Sira 16:23

23 Such are the thoughts of one devoid of understanding; a senseless and misguided person thinks foolishly.

Ben Sira 16:23 In-Context

21 Like a tempest that no one can see, so most of his works are concealed.
22 Who is to announce his acts of justice? Or who can await them? For his decree is far off."
23 Such are the thoughts of one devoid of understanding; a senseless and misguided person thinks foolishly.
24 Listen to me, my child, and acquire knowledge, and pay close attention to my words.
25 I will impart discipline precisely and declare knowledge accurately.
