Sirach 22:10 CPDV

⁸  Whoever explains a word to one who is not listening is like someone who suddenly awakens a sleeping person from a deep sleep.

⁹  Whoever explains wisdom to the senseless is like one speaking to a sleeping person. And at the end of the explanation, he says: 'Who is this?'

¹⁰  Weep over the dead, for his light has failed. And weep over the foolish, for his understanding has failed.

¹¹  Weep only a little over the dead, for he is at rest.

¹²  But the wicked life of a wicked fool is worse than death.
