Sirach 18:15-17

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁵ Son, in goods give thou not (com)plaint, and in (or with) each gift give thou not heaviness of an evil word. [Son, in good things give thou not (com)plaint, and in all gift give thou not sorrowy sloth, or heaviness, of an evil word.]

¹⁶ Whether dew shall not cool heat? so and a word is better than (a) gift.

¹⁷ Lo! whether a word is not above a good gift? but ever either is with a man justified. [Lo! whether not a word over a good gift? but either with a justified man.]
