In context
10There is a gift that shall not profit thee; And there is a gift whose recompense is double.
11There is an abasement because of glory; And there is that lifteth up his head from a low estate.
— Sirach 20:12 —
13A wise man by his words maketh himself beloved: But the graces of fools shall be poured out.
14The gift of a fool shall do thee no good when thou hast it; Neither yet of the envious for his necessity: For he looketh to receive many things for one.
