12As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to him that sendeth him; for he refresheth the soul of his master.
14As vapours and wind without rain, so is he that boasteth himself of a false gift.
15By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbour's house; lest he be sated with thee, and hate thee.
18As a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, so is a man that beareth false witness against his neighbour.
19Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20As one that taketh off a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.
21If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink;
22For thou wilt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD will reward thee.
23The north wind bringeth forth rain, and a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
24It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than in a house in common with a contentious woman.
25As cold waters to a faint soul, so is good news from a far country.
