Sirach 22:7-8
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
Wisdom and Folly
7 He who teaches a fool is like one who glues potsherds together,
or who rouses a sleeper from deep slumber.
8 He who tells a story to a fool tells it to a drowsy man;
and at the end he will say, “What is it?”[a]
Footnotes
- Sirach 22:8 Other authorities add 9 Children who are brought up in a good life, conceal the lowly birth of their parents. 10 Children who are disdainfully and boorishly haughty stain the nobility of their kindred.
