Sirach 1:25
King James VersionSource notes
“The parables of knowledge are in the treasures of wisdom: but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.”
Context
22A furious man cannot be justified; for the sway of his fury shall be his destruction.
23A patient man will tear for a time, and afterward joy shall spring up unto him.
24He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of many shall declare his wisdom.
25The parables of knowledge are in the treasures of wisdom: but godliness is an abomination to a sinner.
26If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee.
27For the fear of the Lord is wisdom and instruction: and faith and meekness are his delight.
28Distrust not the fear of the Lord when thou art poor: and come not unto him with a double heart.
