Sirach 18:17 CPDV

¹⁵  Son, in your good works, you should not complain, and in giving anything, you should not cause grief with evil words.

¹⁶  Is heat not refreshed by the dew? So also is a good word better than a gift.

¹⁷  Behold, is a word not greater than a gift? But both are with a justified man.

¹⁸  The foolish place blame sharply. And a gift from the undisciplined causes the eyes to fail.

¹⁹  Before you judge, put justice in order within yourself, and before you speak, learn.
