Sirach 6:20-22
Wycliffe Bible
20 Wisdom is over-sharp or is full-sharp to untaught men, and an heartless man shall not dwell therein. [How sharp full much is wisdom to unwise men, and there shall not abide still in it the heartless.]
21 As the virtue (or the strength) of a stone, proving shall be in them; and they shall not tarry to cast away it [or to throw it afar].
22 Forsooth the wisdom of teaching is by the name thereof, and it is not open to many men; but it dwelleth with them, of whom it is known, till to the sight of God. [The wisdom forsooth of doctrine is after the name of it, and not to many it is opened; to whom forsooth it is known, it abideth still, unto the sight of God.]
