Proverbs 25:15-17

New Catholic Bible

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.
¹⁷ Do not enter too frequently into your neighbor’s house
    lest he become tired of you and begin to hate you.
