13 As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest, 'So is' a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his masters he refresheth.
14 Clouds and wind, and rain there is none, 'Is' a man boasting himself in a false gift.
15 By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh a bone.
16 Honey thou hast found -- eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated 'with' it, and hast vomited it.
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house, Lest he be satiated 'with' thee, and have hated thee.
