Sirach 18:18-20
Common English Bible

18 A fool reproaches ungraciously,
    and a gift from a begrudging giver
    becomes an eyesore.[a]

19 Learn before you speak,
    and attend to yourself
    before you get sick.
20 Examine yourself before judgment,
    and you will be reconciled
    when you are examined.
