Sirach 20:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ The gift of the fool shall do thee no good: for his eyes are sevenfold.

¹⁵ He will give a few things, and upbraid much: and the opening of his mouth is the kindling of a fire.

¹⁶ To day a man lendeth, and to morrow he asketh it again: such a man as this is hateful.
