Mishle 25:15-17

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹⁵ By forbearance is a katzin (ruler) persuaded, and a gentle lashon breaketh the bone.

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

¹⁷ Let thy regel (foot) seldom be in thy neighbor’s bais; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.
