Sirach 20:10-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. There is a gift which is not helpful, and there is a gift, the repayment for which is double.

11. There is a loss for the sake of boasting, and there is one who will lift up his head from lowliness.

12. There is one who buys much for a small price, and who pays it back sevenfold.

13. Anyone wise in words makes himself loved. But the graces of the foolish will be poured away.
