Proverbs 25:12-19

¹²He that reprooueth the wise, and the obedient eare, is as a golden earering and an ornament of fine golde.

¹³As the colde of the snowe in the time of haruest, so is a faithfull messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soule of his masters.

¹⁴A man that boasteth of false liberalitie, is like cloudes and winde without raine.

¹⁵A Prince is pacified by staying of anger, and a soft tongue breaketh the bones.

¹⁶If thou haue found hony, eate that is sufficient for thee, least thou be ouerfull, and vomit it.

¹⁷Withdrawe thy foote from thy neighbours house, least he be weary of thee, and hate thee.

¹⁸A man that beareth false witnes against his neighbour, is like an hammer and a sword, and a sharpe arrowe.

¹⁹Confidence in an vnfaythfull man in time of trouble, is like a broken tooth and a sliding foote.
