14 Whosoever boasts in a gift of falsehood is like clouds and wind without rain.
15 By long forbearing a prince is persuaded, and a soft tongue breaks the bones.
16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house lest he be weary of thee and so hate thee.
18 A man that bears false witness against his neighbour is a maul and a sword and a sharp arrow.
19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20 As he that takes away a garment in cold weather and as vinegar upon soap, so is he that sings songs to a heavy heart.
