In context
9Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a potsherd together, And as he that waketh one from a sound sleep.
— Sirach 22:10 —
11Weep for the dead, for he hath lost the light: And weep for the fool, for he wanteth understanding: Make little weeping for the dead, for he is at rest: But the life of the fool is worse than death.
12Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead; But for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of his life.
