[As] an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, [so is] a wise reprover upon an obedient ear (25:12) 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 (25:13) Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift [is like] clouds and wind without rain (25:14) By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone (25:15) Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it (25:16) Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and [so] hate thee (25:17) A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour [is] a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow (25:18) Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble [is like] a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint (25:19) [As] he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, [and as] vinegar upon nitre, so [is] he that singeth songs to an heavy heart (25:20) If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: (25:21) For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee (25:22) The north wind driveth away rain: so [doth] an angry countenance a backbiting tongue (25:23) [It is] better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house (25:24) [As] cold waters to a thirsty soul, so [is] good news from a far country (25:25) A righteous man falling down before the wicked [is as] a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring (25:26) [It is] not good to eat much honey: so [for men] to search their own glory [is not] glory (25:27) He that [hath] no rule over his own spirit [is like] a city [that is] broken down, [and] without walls
(25:28)
