7 ask for bread and be given a stone
(по)просить хлеба, а получить камень [этим. библ. Matthew VII, 9]It reminds me of what Robert Burns' mother said when they erected a stately monument to his memory: ‘Ah, Robbie, ye asked them for bread, and they hae [= have] gi'en ye a stane [= stone].’ (M. Twain, ‘The Innocents Abroad’, ch. XXXVI) — Это похоже на то, что сказала мать Роберта Бернса, когда ему воздвигли величественный памятник: "Ах, Робби, ты просил у людей хлеба, а они тебе подали камень"
Nurse: "...Yes, I loved him. My love grew as I saw yours fade... He asked for bread and you gave him a stone." (W. S. Maugham, ‘The Sacred Flame’, act III) — Медсестра: "...Да, я любила Морриса. Моя любовь к нему крепла по мере того, как ваша проходила... Он просил хлеба, а вы дали ему камень."
