9. Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself; and reveal not a secret to another:
10. Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thy infamy turn not away.
11. A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
12. As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
13. As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
14. Whoever boasteth himself of a false gift is like clouds and wind without rain.
15. By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
16. Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled with it, and vomit it.
