Ben Sira 19:23

23 There is a wickedness, and the same an abomination; and there is a fool wanting in wisdom.

Ben Sira 19:23 In-Context

21 If a servant say to his master, "I will not do as it pleaseth thee," though afterward he do it, he angereth him that nourisheth him.

22 The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom, neither at any time the counsel of sinners prudence.

23 There is a wickedness, and the same an abomination; and there is a fool wanting in wisdom.

24 He that hath small understanding and feareth God, is better than one that hath much wisdom and transgresseth the law of the Most High.

25 here is an exquisite subtlety, and the same is unjust; and there is one that turneth aside to make judgment appear, and there is a wise man that justifieth in judgment.
