Sir 22:7
King James Version
“Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a potsherd together, and as he that waketh one from a sound sleep.”
Context
4A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but she that liveth dishonestly is her father’s heaviness.
5She that is bold dishonoureth both her father and her husband, but they both shall despise her.
6A tale out of season musick in mourning: but stripes and correction of wisdom are never out of time.
7Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a potsherd together, and as he that waketh one from a sound sleep.
8He that telleth a tale to a fool speaketh to one in a slumber: when he hath told his tale, he will say, What is the matter?
9If children live honestly, and have wherewithal, they shall cover the baseness of their parents.
10But children, being haughty, through disdain and want of nurture do stain the nobility of their kindred.
