Proverbs 25:15-17

World English Bible

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.
¹⁷ Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house,
    lest he be weary of you, and hate you.
