Proverbs 25:14-16

New Catholic Bible

¹⁴ Like clouds and wind that bring no rain^[a]
    is the one who boasts of gifts that are never given.
¹⁵ A ruler may be won over by patience,
    and a gentle tongue can break bones.
¹⁶ If you find honey, eat only enough to satisfy you,
    for if you consume too much, you will vomit it up.
