Proverbs 25:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ By patience a prince shall be appeased, and a soft tongue shall break hardness.

¹⁶ Thou hast found honey, eat what is sufficient for thee, lest being glutted therewith thou vomit it up.

¹⁷ Withdraw thy foot from the house of thy neighbour, lest having his fill he hate thee.
