[As] cold waters to a thirsty soul, so [is] good news from a far country.
A righteous man falling down before the wicked [is as] a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
[It is] not good to eat much honey: so [for men] to search their own glory [is not] glory.
He that [hath] no rule over his own spirit [is like] a city [that is] broken down, [and] without walls.
As snow in summer, and as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool.
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool's back.
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, [and] drinketh damage.
