Ben Sira 20:14

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

Ben Sira 20:14 In-Context

12 There is that buyeth much for a small price, and restoreth the same sevenfold.
13 A man wise in words shall make himself beloved: but the graces of fools shall be poured out.
14 The gift of the fool shall do thee no good: for his eyes are sevenfold.
15 He will give a few things, and upbraid much: and the opening of his mouth is the kindling of a fire.
16 To day a man lendeth, and to morrow he asketh it again: such a man as this is hateful.
