Proverbs
Chapters 25:10-16
New International Version Anglicized
10or the one who hears it may shame youand the charge against you will stand.
11Like apples of gold in settings of silveris a ruling rightly given.
12Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine goldis the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear.
13Like a snow-cooled drink at harvest timeis a trustworthy messenger to the one who sends him;he refreshes the spirit of his master.
14Like clouds and wind without rainis one who boasts of gifts never given.
15Through patience a ruler can be persuaded,and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
16If you find honey, eat just enough –too much of it, and you will vomit.
