Sirach 20:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ A man wise in words shall make himself beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out.

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.
