¹ Or he who hears it will shame you And the rumor about you [and your action in court] will have no end.

² Like apples of gold in settings of silver Is a word spoken at the right time.

³ Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold Is a wise reprover to an ear that listens and learns.

⁴ Like the cold of snow [brought from the mountains] in the time of harvest, So is a faithful messenger to those who send him; For he refreshes the life of his masters.

⁵ Like clouds and wind without rain Is a man who boasts falsely of gifts [he does not give].

⁶ By patience and a calm spirit a ruler may be persuaded, And a soft and gentle tongue breaks the bone [of resistance].
