Sirach 22:10

⁸He that telleth a tale to a fool speaketh to one in a slumber: when he hath told his tale, he will say, What is the matter?

⁹If children live honestly, and have wherewithal, they shall cover the baseness of their parents.

— 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.
