17. Behold, is not a word better than a gift? And both are with a gracious man.
18. A fool will upbrade ungraciously; And the gift of an envious man consumes the eyes.
19. Learn before you speak; And have a care of your health or ever you be sick.
20. Before judgement examine yourself; And in the hour of visitation you shall find forgiveness.
21. Humble yourself before you be sick; And in the time of sins show repentance.
