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.
18 A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, 'Is' the man testifying against his neighbour a false testimony.
19 A bad tooth, and a tottering foot, 'Is' the confidence of the treacherous in a day of adversity.
