In context

7Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a potsherd together, and as he that waketh one from a sound sleep.

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?

Sirach 22:9

10But children, being haughty, through disdain and want of nurture do stain the nobility of their kindred.

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.
