Ecclesiasticus 22:8 Context
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. 10But children being haughtie through disdaine, and want of nurture, doe staine the nobilitie of their kinred.
