Proverbs 25:15-17

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁵ By long-suffering is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh a bone.

¹⁶ Honey thou hast found -- eat thy sufficiency, Lest thou be satiated [with] it, and hast vomited it.

¹⁷ Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house, Lest he be satiated [with] thee, and have hated thee.
