Sirach 20:13-15

Good News Translation

¹³ When a person with good judgment speaks, he wins friends. A stupid person, though, can shower compliments on everybody, and it won't help him a bit. ¹⁴ If such a person gives you something, it won't do any good; it won't be as valuable as he thinks it is.^{[a] 15} He isn't generous with anything but criticism, which he will shout for all the world to hear. If he lends you something today, he'll want it back tomorrow. (Don't you hate people like that?)
