Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 21:12

οὐ παιδευθήσεται ὃς οὐκ ἔστι πανοῦργος· ἔστι πανουργία πληθύνουσα πικρίαν.
King James Version (KJV)

He that is not wise will not be taught: but there is a wisdom which multiplieth bitterness.

Modern English

Someone who isn't wise cannot be taught, but there is also a kind of cleverness that only multiplies bitterness.
