Proverbs 25:15-17

American Standard Version

¹⁵ By long forbearing is a ^[a]ruler persuaded,
And a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
¹⁶ Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee,
Lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
¹⁷ Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbor’s house,
Lest he be ^[b]weary of thee, and hate thee.
