Sirach 18:14-16

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁴ do he mercy, taking the teaching of merciful doing; and he that hast(en)eth in the dooms thereof. [have he mercy, taking out doctrine of mercy doing; and that hie in the dooms of him.]

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.
