Sirach 20:16

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.

Sirach 20:16 In-Context

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?

18 A slip on the pavement is preferable to a slip of the tongue; so the downfall of evil people will come quickly.
