Sirach 18:17-19
Common English Bible

17 Look! Doesn’t a word exceed a good gift?
    And both come from a person
    who is gracious.
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.
