Very wise but indecent/ clever but unclean/ great cleverness in an ugly vessel
In question: The knowledge and wisdom of a person whose behavior is bad (in the source: said about physical ugliness).
("As the emperor's daughter said to her, "How can wisdom be fruitful in an ugly vessel?" He said to her (from here the passage is translated:) "My daughter, your father the emperor, in what does he give wine?" She said to him: In earthen vessels. He said to her:...We gave it in vessels of silver and gold. She went to her father and gave the wine in vessels of Silver and gold and vinegar...and why are there some who are also wise?! - But if they were filthy - they would be wise all the more!" - Ta'anit 7:1, and so on: "A daughter of Caesar said to Rabbi Yehoshua ben Hananiah: The Torah is made pure in filthy vessels! He said to her: Since I am from your father's house, in what should we put wine? She said to her: In what kind of unclean vessel (vessel) "He is a potter's vessel" - Ndarim 5:2, and Ken: "His mouth is always open. The bow of his neck is drawn back. And when he speaks, a snoring sound comes out of his throat...and even though he is a potter's vessel...he is a full and overflowing vessel. Torah is poured out in a filthy vessel. There is nothing for you in the world of the Holy One, blessed be He, that they will not know my face - peace be upon you/ our friends Finnish, clear)
