⁶ He that sendeth a message by the hand of a fool cutteth off the feet, and drinketh damage.

²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.

¹⁷ A wicked messenger falleth into mischief: but a faithful ambassador is health.

¹³ As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.

³¹ 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.
