Proverbs 25:15-19
English Standard Version
15 With (A)patience a ruler may be persuaded,
and a soft tongue will break a bone.
16 If you have (B)found honey, eat (C)only enough for you,
lest you have your fill of it and vomit it.
17 Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house,
lest he have his fill of you and hate you.
18 A man who (D)bears false witness against his neighbor
is like a war club, or (E)a sword, or a sharp arrow.
19 Trusting in a treacherous man in time of trouble
is like a bad tooth or a foot that slips.
Proverbs 25:15-19
New International Version
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.
18 Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow
is one who gives false testimony against a neighbor.(D)
19 Like a broken tooth or a lame foot
is reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.
