<p class="poetry">A gentle response<n id="1" /> turns away anger,p> <p class="poetry">but a harsh word<n id="2" /> stirs up wrath.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">A person will be satisfied with good from the fruit of his words,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and the work of his hands<n id="2" /> will be rendered to<n id="3" /> him.p>

<p class="poetry">Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">so is a faithful messenger to those who send him,p> <p class="poetry">for he refreshes the heart<n id="2" /> of his masters.p>
