Sirach 18:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ He will have compassion on us if we accept his guidance and are eager for him to show us where we are wrong.

Kindness and Charity

¹⁵ My child, when you help someone, don't reprimand him at the same time. When you make a gift, don't say anything that hurts. ¹⁶ Your words count for more than what you give. Even dew gives some relief during a spell of hot weather.
