Sirach 20:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ To day a man lendeth, and to morrow he asketh it again: such a man as this is hateful.

¹⁷ A fool shall have no friend, and there shall be no thanks for his good deeds.

¹⁸ For they that eat his bread, are of a false tongue. How often, and how many will laugh him to scorn!
