Sirach 20:13-15

Wycliffe Bible

¹³ A wise man in words maketh himself amiable; but the graces of fools shall be shed out. [A wise man in words maketh himself lovable; the graces forsooth of fools shall be poured out.]

¹⁴ The gift of an unwise man shall not be profitable to thee; for his eyes be sevenfold, that is, his intent is many-fold and diverse.

¹⁵ He shall give little things, and he shall upbraid many things; and the opening of his mouth is enflaming. Today a man lendeth, and tomorrow he asketh (for it again); and such a man is hateful. [Few things he shall give, and many things he shall upbraid; and the opening of the mouth of him is enflaming. Today lendeth a man, and tomorrow he asketh it by plea; and hateful is such a manner man.]
