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.
