17 An unreliable messenger stumbles into trouble, but a reliable messenger brings healing.
17 A wicked messenger falls into evil,But (A)a faithful envoy brings healing.
13 Trustworthy messengers refresh like snow in summer. They revive the spirit of their employer.
13 Like the cold of snow in the [a]time of harvestIs a (A)faithful envoy to those who send him,For he refreshes the soul of his masters.
6 Trusting a fool to convey a message is like cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison!
6 He cuts off his own feet and drinks violenceWho sends words by the hand of a fool.
