Ben Sira 3:23

23 Be not curious in unnecessary matters, for more things are shown unto thee than men understand.

Ben Sira 3:23 In-Context

21 Seek not out the things that are too hard for thee, neither search the things that are above thy strength.
22 But what is commanded thee, think thereupon with reverence; for it is not needful for thee to see with thine eyes the things that are in secret.
23 Be not curious in unnecessary matters, for more things are shown unto thee than men understand.
24 For many are deceived by their own vain opinion, and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment.
25 Without eyes thou shalt lack light; profess not the knowledge therefore that thou hast not.
