Sirach 20:15-17
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
15 He gives little and upbraids much;
he opens his mouth like a town crier.
Today he lends and tomorrow he asks for it back;
such a one is hateful to God and humans.[a]
16 The fool says, ‘I have no friends,
and I get no thanks for my good deeds.
Those who eat my bread are evil-tongued.’
17 How many will ridicule him, and how often![b]
