15 With patience a ruler may be persuaded, and a soft tongue will break a bone.
16 If you find honey, eat what is sufficient for you, lest you have your fill of it and vomit it out.
17 Make your foot scarce in the house of your neighbor, lest he become weary of you and hate you.
18 Like a club and sword and a sharp arrow is a man who bears false witness against his neighbor.
19 A bad tooth and a lame foot is the trust of a faithless person in a time of trouble.
20 Like one who removes a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on natron, is he who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If your enemy is hungry, feed him bread, and if thirsty, let him drink water.
