Ecclesiasticus 22:6-9 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. A tale out of time is like music in mourning: but the stripes and instruction of wisdom are never out of time.

7. He that teacheth a fool, is like one that glueth a potsherd together.

8. He that telleth a word to him that heareth not, is like one that waketh a man out of a deep sleep.

9. He speaketh with one that is asleep, who uttereth wisdom to a fool: and in the end of the discourse he saith: Who is this?
