Sirach 18:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
17 Indeed, does not a word surpass a good gift?
Both are to be found in a gracious person.
18 A fool is ungracious and abusive,
and the gift of a grudging giver makes the eyes dim.
The Need of Reflection and Self-control
19 Before you speak, learn;
and before you fall ill, take care of your health.
