Ecclesiasticus 18:16 Context

¹⁴He hath mercy on them that receiue discipline, and that diligently seeke after his iudgements. ¹⁵My sonne, blemish not thy good deeds, neither vse vncomfortable words when thou giuest any thing. ¹⁶Shall not the deaw asswage the heate? so is a word better then a gift. ¹⁷Loe is not a word better then a gift? but both are with a gracious man. ¹⁸A foole will vpbraide churlishly, and a gift of the enuious consumeth the eyes.
