In context
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.
— Sirach 20:15 —
16The fool saith, I have no friends, I have no thank for all my good deeds, And they that eat my bread speak evil of me.
17How oft, and of how many shall he be laughed to scorn!
