11. Like apples of gold in settings of silveris a ruling rightly given.
12. Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine goldis the rebuke of a wise judge to a listening ear.
13. Like a snow-cooled drink at harvest timeis a trustworthy messenger to the one who sends him;he refreshes the spirit of his master.
14. Like clouds and wind without rainis one who boasts of gifts never given.
15. Through patience a ruler can be persuaded,and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
