Proverbs 25:15-17
New International Version

15 Through patience a ruler can be persuaded,(A)
    and a gentle tongue can break a bone.(B)

16 If you find honey, eat just enough—
    too much of it, and you will vomit.(C)
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house—
    too much of you, and they will hate you.

Proverbs 25:15-17
New King James Version

15 (A)By long forbearance a ruler is persuaded,
And a gentle tongue breaks a bone.

16 Have you found honey?
Eat only as much as you need,
Lest you be filled with it and vomit.

17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house,
Lest he become weary of you and hate you.
