15. My child, add no reproach to your charity,or spoil any gift by harsh words.
16. Does not the dew give relief from the scorching heat?So a word can be better than a gift.
17. Indeed does not a word count more than a good gift?But both are offered by a kind person.
18. The fool is ungracious and abusive,and a grudging gift makes the eyes smart.
19. Before you speak, learn;before you get sick, prepare the cure.
