Proverbs 25:17

13As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to those who send him; for he refreshes the soul of his masters.

14As clouds and wind without rain, so is he who boasts of gifts deceptively.

15By patience a ruler is persuaded. A soft tongue breaks the bone.

16Have you found honey? Eat as much as is sufficient for you, lest you eat too much, and vomit it.

17Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house, lest he be weary of you, and hate you.

18A man who gives false testimony against his neighbor is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.

19Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble is like a bad tooth or a lame foot.

20As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

21If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
