Proverbs
Chapters 25:13-19
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
13To his master who sent him, a messenger who can be trusted is as refreshing as a drink of cold water on a hot summer day.
14People who promise to give gifts but never give them are like clouds and wind that bring no rain.
15With patience, you can make anyone change their thinking, even a ruler. Gentle speech is very powerful.
16Honey is good, but don’t eat too much of it, or you will be sick.
17And don’t visit your neighbors’ homes too often, or they will begin to hate you.
18A person who gives false testimony against a neighbor is as deadly as a club, a sword, or a very sharp arrow.
19Never depend on a liar in times of trouble. It’s like chewing with a bad tooth or walking with a crippled foot.
