Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 22:7

συγκολλῶν ὄστρακον ὁ διδάσκων μωρόν, ἐξεγείρων καθεύδοντα ἐκ βαθέως ὕπνου.
King James Version (KJV)

Whoso teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a potsherd together, and as he that waketh one from a sound sleep.

Modern English

Whoever teaches a fool is like someone gluing broken pottery back together, or like someone waking a person from deep sleep.
