Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 19:22

καὶ οὐκ ἔστι σοφία πονηρίας ἐπιστήμη, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὅπου βουλὴ ἁμαρτωλῶν φρόνησις.
King James Version (KJV)

The knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom, neither at any time the counsel of sinners prudence.

Modern English

Knowledge of wickedness is not wisdom, and the advice of sinners is never good sense.
