26 Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,So is the [a](A)lazy one to those who send him.
17 A wicked messenger falls into adversity,But (A)a faithful messenger brings healing.
13 Like the cold of snow in the [a]time of harvestIs a (A)faithful messenger to those who send him,For he refreshes the soul of his masters.
25 Like cold water to a weary soul,So is (A)good news from a distant land.
6 One who sends a message by the hand of a foolChops off his own feet and drinks violence.
