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.
