Midrash su Giobbe 15:16

(Fol. 72b) R. Jochanan said: "There were three crowns: that of the altar, that of the table and that of the ark. That of the altar (Priesthood) was merited and received by Aaron; that of the table (Royalty), was merited and received by David; that of the ark (Education), is yet to be bestowed, and whoever wishes to obtain it can do so. One might say this is the cheapest one, therefore it is said (Prov. 8, 15) Through me do kings reign." R. Jochanan raised the following contradiction: "It is written Zar (strange), and we read it Zeir (crown); i.e., if one is worthy, the Torah will be as a crown to him; if not, she will become estranged from him." R. Jochanan raised the following contradictory passage: "It is written (Deut. 10, 1) And thou shalt make a wooden ark; and it is written (Ex. 25, 10) And they should make an ark of shittim wood. This is to teach us that a scholar is to be supported by his townspeople." Within and without shalt thou overlay it (the ark). Raba said: "A scholar whose inside does not harmonize with his outside (who is insincere) is no scholar." Abaye and, according to others, Raba b. Ulla, said: "Not only is he no scholar, but he might even be called corrupt, for it is said (Job 15, 16) How much more abominable and corrupt is the man who drinketh wrong-doing like water."
