11 A word [a]fitly spokenIs like apples of gold in network of silver.
15 With patience[a] a ruler may be persuaded, and a soft tongue will break a bone.[b]
15 By long forbearing is a [a]ruler persuaded,And a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
25 Like cold water[a] upon a weary soul,[b] so too is good news from a distant place.
25 As cold waters to a [a]thirsty soul,So is good news from a far country.
