20 Examine yourself before judgment, and you will be reconciled when you are examined.

Sirach 18:20 In-Context

18 A fool reproaches ungraciously, and a gift from a begrudging giver becomes an eyesore.

19 Learn before you speak, and attend to yourself before you get sick.

20 Examine yourself before judgment, and you will be reconciled when you are examined.

21 Humble yourself before you get sick,

22 and when you commit sins show a changed heart and mind. Don't be prevented from repaying a solemn promise in a timely way, and don't wait until death to be vindicated.
