13As 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.

15By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

16Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, Lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

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

18A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor Is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

19Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is [like] a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
