Ecclesiasticus 20:14 Context
12There is that buyeth much for a little, and repayeth it seuen fold. 13A wise man by his words maketh himselfe beloued: but the graces of fooles shalbe powred out. 14The gift of a foole shall doe thee no good when thou hast it; neither yet of the enuious for his necessitie: for hee looketh to receiue many things for one. 15Hee giueth little and vpbraideth much; hee openeth his mouth like a crier; to day he lendeth, and to morrow will he aske it againe: such an one is to be hated of God and man. 16The foole saith, I haue no friends, I haue no thanke for all my good deeds: and they that eate my bread speake euill of me.
