Proverbs 25:15-17

21st Century King James Version

¹⁵ By much forbearance is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

¹⁶ Hast thou found honey? Eat only so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith and vomit it.

¹⁷ Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor’s house, lest he be weary of thee and so come to hate thee.
