13As a fall of snow in the time of harvest is good against heat, so a faithful messenger refreshes those that send him; for he helps the souls of his employers.
14As winds and clouds and rains are most evident objects, so is he that boasts of a false gift.
15In long-suffering is prosperity to kings, and a soft tongue breaks the bones.
16Having found honey, eat only what is enough, lest haply thou be filled, and vomit it up.
