In context
11There is an abasement because of glory; And there is that lifteth up his head from a low estate.
12There is that buyeth much for a little, And repayeth it sevenfold.
— Sirach 20:13 —
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.
15He giveth little, and upbraideth much; He openeth his mouth like a crier; Today he lendeth, and tomorrow will he ask it again: Such a one is to be hated of God and man.
