Sirach 18:18-20
Revised Standard Version
18 A fool is ungracious and abusive,
and the gift of a grudging man makes the eyes dim.

19 Before you speak, learn,
and before you fall ill, take care of your health.
20 Before judgment, examine yourself,
and in the hour of visitation you will find forgiveness.
