Sirach 18:18-21 Common English Bible (CEB)

18. A fool reproaches ungraciously,and a gift from a begrudging giverbecomes an eyesore.

19. Learn before you speak,and attend to yourselfbefore you get sick.

20. Examine yourself before judgment,and you will be reconciledwhen you are examined.

21. Humble yourself before you get sick,and when you commit sinsshow a changed heart and mind.
