Ben Sira 3:25

25 Without eyes there is no light; without knowledge there is no wisdom.

Ben Sira 3:25 In-Context

23 Do not meddle in matters that are beyond you, for more than you can understand has been shown you.
24 For their conceit has led many astray, and wrong opinion has impaired their judgment.
25 Without eyes there is no light; without knowledge there is no wisdom.
26 A stubborn mind will fare badly at the end, and whoever loves danger will perish in it.
27 A stubborn mind will be burdened by troubles, and the sinner adds sin to sins.
