Sirach 20:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ A fool shall have no friend, and there shall be no thanks for his good deeds.

¹⁸ For they that eat his bread, are of a false tongue. How often, and how many will laugh him to scorn!

¹⁹ For he doth not distribute with right understanding that which was to be had: in like manner also that which was not to be had.
