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?

10. Weep for the dead, for his light hath failed: and weep for the fool, for his understanding faileth.

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

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

13. The mourning for the dead is seven days: but for a fool and an ungodly man all the days of their life.

14. Talk not much with a fool, and go not with him that hath no sense.
