Ecclesiasticus 20:15 Context
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. 17How oft, and of how many shall he be laughed to scorne? for hee knoweth not aright what it is to haue; and it is all one vnto him, as if he had it not.
