15If someone keeps requesting a ruler long enough to do something, he will often agree to do it; similarly, by speaking MTY gently we can often convince others that what we say is right IDM.
16If you find some honey, do not eat a lot of it, because doing that may cause you to vomit.
17Do not go to your neighbor's house very often to talk with him; if you go very often, he will get tired of listening to you and start to hate you.
18To falsely accuse others in court is like SIM attacking them with a war-club or a sword or a sharp arrow.
19Depending on unreliable people when you have troubles is as bad as trying to eat when you have a bad/hurting tooth or trying to walk when your foot is crippled.
20Singing to someone who is depressed just causes him to feel worse; it is like SIM taking off clothes on a very cold day or like putting vinegar on a wound.
21If your enemies are hungry, give them something to eat; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink;
22doing that will cause them to feel ashamed IDM, and Yahweh will reward you for doing that.
23When wind blows from the right direction, it will rain; similarly SIM, if we gossip about others, that causes them to look at us very angrily.
24It is better to live ◄ alone/by yourself► in the corner of an attic/housetop than to live inside the house with a wife who is always nagging.
