12 'As' an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, 'So is' a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, 'So is' a faithful messenger to them that send him; For he refresheth the soul of his masters.
14 'As' clouds and wind without rain, 'So is' he that boasteth himself of his gifts falsely.
15 By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, Lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
