Ecclesiasticus 19:26

Ecclesiasticus 19:26 Context

²³There is a wickedness, and the same an abomination; and there is a fool wanting in wisdom. ²⁴He that hath small understanding, and feareth God, is better than one that hath much wisdom, and transgresseth the law of the most High. ²⁵There is an exquisite subtilty, 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. ²⁶There is a wicked man that hangeth down his head sadly; but inwardly he is full of deceit, ²⁷Casting down his countenance, and making as if he heard not: where he is not known, he will do thee a mischief before thou be aware. ²⁸And if for want of power he be hindered from sinning, yet when he findeth opportunity he will do evil. ²⁹A man may be known by his look, and one that hath understanding by his countenance, when thou meetest him.
