Sirach 19:24 CPDV

²²  There is a certain cleverness, and it is unjust.

²³  And there is one who utters a careful word, explaining away the truth. There is one who humbles himself wickedly, for his interior is filled with deceit.

²⁴  And there is one who lowers himself excessively with a great debasement. And there is one who inclines his face downward, and pretends as if he did not see what has not been made known.

²⁵  And if he is prevented from sinning by a lack of ability, and then finds an opportunity for evildoing, he will do evil.

²⁶  A man is recognized by his appearances. But when you meet an understanding man, he is recognized by his face.
