Sirach 20:13LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 13 of 33
"A man wise in words shall make himself beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out."
In context
11There is an abasement because of glory: and there is one that shall lift up his head from a low estate.
12There is that buyeth much for a small price, and restoreth the same sevenfold.
13A man wise in words shall make himself beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out.
14The gift of the fool shall do thee no good: for his eyes are sevenfold.
15He will give a few things, and upbraid much: and the opening of his mouth is the kindling of a fire.
