Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.

Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so doth the sweetness of a man’s friend by hearty counsel.

 As a thorn goeth up into the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouths of fools.

 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.
