Sirach 22:10-12
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
10 Whoever tells a story to a fool tells it to a drowsy man;
and at the end he will say, ‘What is it?’
11 Weep for the dead, for he has left the light behind;
and weep for the fool, for he has left intelligence behind.
Weep less bitterly for the dead, for he is at rest;
but the life of the fool is worse than death.
12 Mourning for the dead lasts seven days,
but for the foolish or the ungodly it lasts all the days of their lives.
