Ben Sira 20:12

12 There is one that buyeth much for a little, and repayeth it sevenfold.

Ben Sira 20:12 In-Context

10 There is a gift that shall not profit thee, and there is a gift whose recompense is double.

11 There is an abasement because of glory, and there is one that lifteth up his head from a low estate.

12 There is one that buyeth much for a little, and repayeth it sevenfold.

13 A wise man by his words maketh him beloved, but the graces of fools shall be poured out.

14 The gift of a fool shall do thee no good when thou hast it, neither yet of the envious for his necessity; for he looketh to receive many things for one.
