Like an earring of gold and an ornament of fine gold
Is a wise reprover to an ear that listens and learns.

Like the cold of snow [brought from the mountains] in the time of harvest,

For he refreshes the life of his masters.

Like clouds and wind without rain
Is a man who boasts falsely of gifts [he does not give].^(A)
