Sirach 22 : 7 - 18
Chapter 22
| 7 | He that teacheth a fool, is like one that glueth a potsherd together.
|
| 8 | He that telleth a word to him that heareth not, is like one that waketh a man out of a deep sleep.
|
| 9 | He speaketh with one that is asleep, who uttereth wisdom to a fool: and in the end of the discourse he saith: Who is this?
|
| 10 | Weep for the dead, for his light hath failed: and weep for the fool, for his understanding faileth.
|
| 11 | Weep but a little for the dead, for he is at rest.
|
| 12 | For the wicked life of a wicked fool is worse than death.
|
| 13 | The mourning for the dead is seven days: but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of their life.
|
| 14 | Talk not much with a fool, and go not with him that hath no sense.
|
| 15 | Keep thyself from him, that thou mayst not have trouble, and thou shalt not be defiled with his sin.
|
| 16 | Turn away from him, and thou shalt find rest, and shalt not be wearied out with his folly.
|
| 17 | What is heavier than lead? and what other name hath he but fool?
|
| 18 | Sand and salt, and a mass of iron is easier to bear, than a man without sense, that is both foolish and wicked.
