Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
14 As clouds and wind without rain, So is he who boasts of gifts deceptively.
15 By patience a ruler is persuaded. A soft tongue breaks the bone.
16 Have you found honey? Eat as much as is sufficient for you, Lest you eat too much, and vomit it.
17 Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor`s house, Lest he be weary of you, and hate you.
18 A man who gives false testimony against his neighbor Is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.
19 Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble Is like a bad tooth, or a lame foot.
20 As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, Or vinegar on soda, So is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
