Ben Sira 33:5

5 The heart of a fool is like a cart wheel, and his thoughts like a turning axle.

Ben Sira 33:5 In-Context

3 A man of understanding will trust in the law; for him the law is as dependable as an inquiry by means of Urim.
4 Prepare what to say, and thus you will be heard; bind together your instruction, and make your answer.
5 The heart of a fool is like a cart wheel, and his thoughts like a turning axle.
6 A stallion is like a mocking friend; he neighs under every one who sits on him.
7 Why is any day better than another, when all the daylight in the year is from the sun?
