10 Lest the hearer put thee to shame, And thine evil report turn not back.
11 Apples of gold in imagery of silver, [Is] the word spoken at its fit times.
12 A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, [Is] the wise reprover to an attentive ear.
13 As a vessel of snow in a day of harvest, [So is] a faithful ambassador to those sending him, And the soul of his masters he refresheth.
14 Clouds and wind, and rain there is none, [Is] a man boasting himself in a false gift.
15 By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh a bone.
16 Honey thou hast found -- eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated [with] it, and hast vomited it.
