Sirach 18:18-20
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
18 A fool is ungracious and abusive,
and the gift of a grudging giver makes the eyes dim.
The Need for Reflection and Self-Control
19 Before you speak, learn;
and before you fall ill, take care of your health.
20 Before judgement comes, examine yourself;
and at the time of scrutiny you will find forgiveness.
