16Shall not the dew assuage the heat? so also the good word is better than the gift.
17Lo, is not a word better than a gift? but both are with a justified man.
18A fool will upbraid bitterly: and a gift of one ill taught consumeth the eyes.
19Before judgment prepare thee justice, and learn before thou speak.
