Ben Sira 37:21

21 For grace is not given him from the Lord, because he is deprived of all wisdom.

Ben Sira 37:21 In-Context

19 There is one that is wise and teacheth many, and yet is unprofitable to himself.
20 There is one that showeth wisdom in words, and is hated; he shall be destitute of all food.
21 For grace is not given him from the Lord, because he is deprived of all wisdom.
22 Another is wise to himself, and the fruits of understanding are commendable in his mouth.
23 A wise man instructeth his people; and the fruits of his understanding fail not.
