He is lame of his feet, yea drunken is he in vanity, that committeth any message to a fool.

As vinegar is to the teeth, and as smoke is to the eyes; even so is a sluggish person to them that sendeth him forth.

But the men that went up with him said, "We be not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we."

An ungodly messenger bringeth mischief; but a faithful ambassador is wholesome.

Like as the winter cool in the harvest, so is a faithful messenger to him that sent him, and refresheth his master's mind.
