Ecclesiasticus 20:17 Context
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. 18To slip vpon a pauement, is better then to slip with the tongue: so, the fall of the wicked shall come speedily. 19An vnseasonable tale will alwayes be in the mouth of the vnwise.
