Ben Sira 3:26

26 And the suspicion of them hath deceived many, and hath detained their minds in vanity.

Ben Sira 3:26 In-Context

24 In unnecessary matters be not over curious, and in many of his works thou shalt not be inquisitive.
25 For many things are shewn to thee above the understanding of men.
26 And the suspicion of them hath deceived many, and hath detained their minds in vanity.
27 A hard heart shall fear evil at the last: and he that loveth danger shall perish in it.
28 A heart that goeth two ways shall not have success, and the perverse of heart shall be scandalized therein.
