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.
17Enter sparingly into thy friend’s house, Lest he be satiated with thy company, and hate thee.
18As a club, and a dagger, and a pointed arrow, So also is a man who bears false witness against his friend.
19The way of the wicked and the foot of the transgressor shall perish in an evil day.
20As vinegar is bad for a sore, So trouble befalling the body afflicts the heart.
20aAs a moth in a garment, and a worm in wood, So the grief of a man hurts the heart.
21If thine enemy hunger, feed him; If he thirst, give him drink;
22For so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, And the Lord shall reward thee with good.
23The north wind raises clouds; So an impudent face provokes the tongue.
24It is better to dwell on a corner of the roof, Than with a railing woman in an open house.
