Ecclesiasticus 22:7 Context
5Shee that is bold, dishonoureth both her father and her husband, but they both shall despise her. 6A tale out of season [is as] musick in mourning: but stripes and correction of wisedome are neuer out of time. 7Who so teacheth a foole, is as one that gleweth a potsheard together, and as hee that waketh one from a sound sleepe. 8Hee that telleth a tale to a foole, speaketh to one in a slumber: when hee hath told his tale, he will say, What is the matter? 9If children liue honestly, and haue wherwithall, they shall couer the basenesse of their parents.
