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.
         
                                
                        17 Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour`s house, Lest he be  satiated [with] thee, and have hated thee.
         
                                
                        18 A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, [Is] the man  testifying against his neighbour a false testimony.
