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.
17 Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbor's house, Lest he be weary of thee, and hate thee.
