11Apples of gold in imagery of silver, Is the word spoken at its fit times.
12A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, Is the wise reprover to an attentive ear.
13As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest, So is a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his masters he refresheth.
14Clouds and wind, and rain there is none, Is a man boasting himself in a false gift.
15By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh a bone.
16Honey thou hast found — eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated with it, and hast vomited it.
