Proverbs 25:14-16

World English Bible

¹⁴ As clouds and wind without rain,
    so is he who boasts of gifts deceptively.
¹⁵ By patience a ruler is persuaded.
    A soft tongue breaks the bone.
¹⁶ Have you found honey?
    Eat as much as is sufficient for you,
    lest you eat too much, and vomit it.
