12As an earring of gold, and a pendant of fine gold, so is a wise reprover toward an ear that listeneth.
13As the cooling of snow on a harvest-day, so is a faithful messenger to those that send him; for he refresheth the soul of his master.
14Like clouds and wind without rain, so is a man that vaunteth falsely of a gift.
15By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh bones.
16Hast thou found honey: eat so much as is sufficient for thee: lest thou consume too much of it, and have to vomit it forth.
17Make thy foot scarce in the house of thy friend: lest he have too much of thee, and so hate thee.
18A battle-axe, and a sword, and a sharpened arrow is a man that testifieth as a false witness against his neighbor.
19Like a broken tooth and a foot out of joint, is confidence in a treacherous man in a time of distress.
20As he that taketh off his garment on a cold day, as vinegar is upon natron: so is he that singeth songs before an unhappy heart.
21If thy enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink;
22For though thou gatherest coals of fire upon his head, yet will the Lord repay it unto thee.
23The north wind bringeth forth rain: so doth secret talking, angry countenances.
24It is better to dwell in the corner of a roof, than with a quarrelsome woman even in a roomy house.
25As cold water is to a fainting soul, so are good news from a far-off country.
