Sirach 3:24-27 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

24. In unnecessary matters, do not choose to be an examiner of many different things, and you should not be curious about too many of his works.

25. For many things have been revealed to you, beyond the understanding of men.

26. Yet uncertainty in these things has also undermined many persons and has detained their minds in vanity.

27. A hardened heart will have evil in the very end, and he who loves peril will perish in it.
