Proverbs 25:14-16

American Standard Version

¹⁴ As clouds and wind without rain,
So is he that boasteth himself ^[a]of his gifts falsely.
¹⁵ By long forbearing is a ^[b]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.
