Proverbs

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 neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and hate thee. ¹⁸A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour 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. ²⁰As one that taketh off a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart. ²¹If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: ²²For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
