Sirach 20:15

Listen to Sirach 20:15
15 They will give a little and reproach a lot, and they will open their mouths like a town crier. Today they will lend and tomorrow ask for it back; such people are hateful.

Sirach 20:15 In-Context

13 Wise people make themselves dearly loved by means of words, but fools pour out gifts.
14 Gifts from senseless people won't profit you, because they look for a lot rather than a little in return.
15 They will give a little and reproach a lot, and they will open their mouths like a town crier. Today they will lend and tomorrow ask for it back; such people are hateful.
16 Fools say, "I don't have a friend, and there's no gratitude for my good deeds." Those who eat the bread of such people have mean tongues.
17 How many will ridicule them, and how often?
