Proverbs 25:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁵ With patience a ruler may be persuaded,
    and a soft tongue can break bones.
¹⁶ If you have found honey, eat only enough for you,
    or else, having too much, you will vomit it.
¹⁷ Let your foot be seldom in your neighbour’s house,
    otherwise the neighbour will become weary of you and hate you.
