25:12 A ring of gold, and an ornament of pure gold, [Is] the wise reprover to an attentive ear.

25:13 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.

25:14 Clouds and wind, and rain there is none, [Is] a man boasting himself in a false gift.

25:18 A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, [Is] the man testifying against his neighbour a false testimony.
