vinegar.
Pr. 25:13,20• 13Como frío de nieve en tiempo de la siega, Así es el mensajero fiel á los que lo envían: Pues al alma de su señor da refrigerio.
 20El que canta canciones al corazón afligido, Es como el que quita la ropa en tiempo de frío, ó el que sobre el jabón echa vinagre. (Pr. 25:13,20)
as smoke.As the acidity of vinegar causes the unpleasantness and pain to the teeth, and by softening and dissolving the alkali of the bone, impairs their texture, and renders them incapable of mastication; and as smoke, by irritating the tender vessels, causes the eyes to smart, and prevents distinct vision; so a sluggish messenger is a continual vexation and loss to those by whom he is employed.
Is. 65:5• 5Que dicen: Estáte en tu lugar, no te llegues á mí, que soy más santo que tú: éstos son humo en mi furor, fuego que arde todo el día. (Is. 65:5)
so.
Mt. 25:26• 26Y respondiendo su señor, le dijo: Malo y negligente siervo, sabías que siego donde no sembré y que recojo donde no esparcí; (Mt. 25:26)
;
Ro. 12:11• 11En el cuidado no perezosos; ardientes en espíritu; sirviendo al Señor; (Ro. 12:11)
;
He. 6:12• 12Que no os hagáis perezosos, mas imitadores de aquellos que por la fe y la paciencia heredan las promesas. (He. 6:12)
• As a strong acid sets the teeth on edge, and smoke inflames the eyes, so is it beyond measure irritating to place confidence in a man who is really indifferent to the success or failure of his commission. (“Proverbs Ten” by H.A. Ironside)
