Proverbs 25:13-17

Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest Is a faithful messenger to those who send him, For he refreshes the soul of his masters.

Like clouds and wind without rain Is a person who boasts of his gifts falsely.

Through patience a ruler may be persuaded, And a gentle tongue breaks bone.

Have you found honey? Eat only what you need, So that you do not have it in excess and vomit it.

Let your foot rarely be in your neighbor’s house, Or he will become weary of you and hate you.
