"The gift of the fool shall do thee no good: for his eyes are sevenfold."
— Sirach 20:14

Nel contesto

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.

16Today a man lendeth, and tomorrow he asketh it again: such a man as this is hateful.
