Proverbs 25:15-17
International Standard Version
15 Through patience a ruler may be persuaded;
a gentle word[a] can break a bone.
16 If you find some honey,
eat only what you need.
Take too much,
and you’ll vomit.
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s home;
otherwise, he’ll grow weary and hate you.
