Ben Sira 3:21

21 Seek not what is too difficult for you, nor investigate what is beyond your power.

Ben Sira 3:21 In-Context

20 For great is the might of the Lord; he is glorified by the humble.
21 Seek not what is too difficult for you, nor investigate what is beyond your power.
22 Reflect upon what has been assigned to you, for you do not need what is hidden.
23 Do not meddle in what is beyond your tasks, for matters too great for human understanding have been shown you.
