As vinegar is bad for a sore, so trouble befalling the body afflicts the heart. As a moth in a garment, and a worm in wood, so the grief of a man hurts the heart.
21
If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink;
22
for so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee good.
23
The north wind raises clouds; so an impudent face provokes the tongue.

25
As cold water is agreeable to a thirsting soul, so is a good message from a land far off.
26

27
not good to eat much honey; but it is right to honour venerable sayings.
28
As a city whose walls are broken down, and which is unfortified, so is a man who does anything without counsel.
