Sirach 16:23-25

Wycliffe Bible

²³ He that is made little in heart, thinketh (upon) vain things; and a man unprudent and a fool thinketh (upon) fond things. [Who is less(en)ed in heart, thinketh idle things; and the unprudent man and erring thinketh follies.]

²⁴ Son, hear thou me, and learn thou teaching [or discipline] of wit, and give thou attention to my words in thine heart;

²⁵ and I shall say teaching in equity, and I shall seek to tell out wisdom. And give thou attention to my words in thine heart; and I say in equity of spirit the virtues, which God hath set on his works at the beginning [or that God put into his works from the beginning], and in truth I tell out the cunning (or the knowing) of him.
