Proverbs 25:15-17
New American Standard Bible 1995
15 By [a](A)forbearance a ruler may be persuaded,
And a soft tongue breaks the bone.
16 Have you (B)found honey? Eat only [b]what you need,
That you not have it in excess and vomit it.
17 Let your foot rarely be in your neighbor’s house,
Or he will become [c]weary of you and hate you.
