| Sirach 3 22 | Altiora te ne quaesieris, et fortiora te ne scrutatus fueris : sed quae praecepit tibi Deus, illa cogita semper, et in pluribus operibus ejus ne fueris curiosus. | Seek not the things that are too high for thee, and search not into things above thy ability: but the things that God hath commanded thee, think on them always, and in many of his works be not curious. | None |
| Sirach 3 24 | In supervacuis rebus noli scrutari multipliciter, et in pluribus operibus ejus non eris curiosus. | In unnecessary matters be not over curious, and in many of his works thou shalt not be inquisitive. | None |
| Acts 19 19 | Multi autem ex eis, qui fuerant curiosa sectati, contulerunt libros, et combusserunt coram omnibus : et computatis pretiis illorum, invenerunt pecuniam denariorum quinquaginta millium. | And many of them who had followed curious arts brought together their books and burnt them before all. And, counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver. | Ἱκανοὶ δὲ τῶν τὰ περίεργα πραξάντων συνενέγκαντες τὰς βίβλους κατέκαιον ἐνώπιον πάντων· καὶ συνεψήφισαν τὰς τιμὰς αὐτῶν, καὶ εὗρον ἀργυρίου μυριάδας πέντε." |
