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. As clouds and wind without rain, So is he that boasteth himself of his gifts falsely.
15. By long forbearing is a ruler 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.
