Ben Sira 22:11-13 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

11. Weep over the dead, for their light has gone out;weep over the fool, for sense has left him.Weep but less bitterly over the dead, for they are at rest;worse than death is the life of a fool.

12. Mourning for the dead, seven days—but for the wicked fool, a whole lifetime.

13. Do not talk much with the stupid,or visit the unintelligent.Beware of them lest you have troubleand be spattered when they shake themselves off.Avoid them and you will find restand not be wearied by their lack of sense.
