Proverbs 25:15-17

Amplified Bible

¹⁵ 
By patience and a calm spirit a ruler may be persuaded,
And a soft and gentle tongue breaks the bone [of resistance].^(A)
16 
Have you found [pleasure sweet like] honey? Eat only as much as you need,
Otherwise, being filled excessively, you vomit it.
¹⁷ 
Let your foot seldom be in your neighbor’s house,
Or he will become tired of you and hate you.
