13 Anyone wise in words makes himself loved. But the graces of the foolish will be poured away.
14 A gift from the unwise will not benefit you. For his gaze is divided, sevenfold.
15 He will give little, and reproach much. And the opening of his mouth is like a burning flame.
16 There is one who lends today and demands repayment tomorrow. A man such as this is hateful.
17 A foolish man will not have a friend, and there will be no thanks for his good deeds.
