Ecclesiasticus 20:18 Context
15He giveth little, and upbraideth much; he openeth his mouth like a crier; to day he lendeth, and to morrow will he ask it again: such an one is to be hated of God and man. 16The fool saith, I have no friends, I have no thank for all my good deeds, and they that eat my bread speak evil of me. 17How oft, and of how many shall he be laughed to scorn! for he knoweth not aright what it is to have; and it is all one unto him as if he had it not. 18To slip upon a pavement is better than to slip with the tongue: so the fall of the wicked shall come speedily. 19An unseasonable tale will always be in the mouth of the unwise. 20A wise sentence shall be rejected when it cometh out of a fool's mouth; for he will not speak it in due season. 21There is that is hindered from sinning through want: and when he taketh rest, he shall not be troubled.
