In context
14As winds and clouds and rains are most evident objects, So is he that boasts of a false gift.
15In long-suffering is prosperity to kings, And a soft tongue breaks the bones.
— Proverbs 25:16 —
17Enter sparingly into thy friend’s house, Lest he be satiated with thy company, and hate thee.
18As a club, and a dagger, and a pointed arrow, So also is a man who bears false witness against his friend.
