Proverbs 25:15

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  Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.

¹⁵  By long forbearing is a prince 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  Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
