14 Like clouds and wind without rain is one who boasts about a gift not given.
15 Through patience a ruler may be persuaded, and a soft tongue can break a bone.
16 When you find honey, eat just enough, lest you are stuffed and vomit it.
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house, lest he become weary of you and loathe you.
18 Like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow is one who bears false witness against his neighbor.
19 Like a broken tooth or a lame foot is confidence in the unfaithful in time of trouble.
20 Like taking off a garment on a cold day or like vinegar poured on soda, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
