In context
12A gold ring, an ornament of fine gold—that is a wise reprover to a listening ear. 13Like the cold of snow at harvest time is a faithful messenger to those who send him; he brings his master’s spirit back to life. 14Clouds and wind and no rain—that is a man who boasts of a gift he never gives. 15With patience a ruler is won over, and a soft tongue can break a bone. 16If you find honey, eat only your fill, or you will have too much of it and vomit it up.
