Sirach 1:24-26

Revised Standard Version

²⁴ He will hide his words until the right moment,
    and the lips of many will tell of his good sense.
²⁵ In the treasuries of wisdom are wise sayings,
    but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.
²⁶ If you desire wisdom, keep the commandments,
    and the Lord will supply it for you.
