25:8. The things which thy eyes have seen, utter not hastily in a quarrel: lest afterward thou mayst not be able to make amends, when thou hast dishonoured thy friend.
25:9. Treat thy cause with thy friend, and discover not the secret to a stranger:
25:10. Lest he insult over thee, when he hath heard it, and cease not to upbraid thee. Grace and friendship deliver a man: keep these for thyself, lest thou fall under reproach.
25:11. To speak a word in due time, is like apples of gold on beds of silver.
25:12. As an earring of gold and a bright pearl, so is he that reproveth the wise, and the obedient ear.
25:13. As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to him that sent him, for he refresheth his soul.
25:14. As clouds, and wind, when no rain followeth, so is the man that boasteth, and doth not fulfil his promises.
25:15. By patience a prince shall be appeased, and a soft tongue shall break hardness.
25:16. Thou hast found honey, eat what is sufficient for thee, lest being glutted therewith thou vomit it up.
25:17. Withdraw thy foot from the house of thy neighbour, lest having his fill he hate thee.
