Proverbs 25:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁵ With patience a ruler may be persuaded,
    and a soft tongue can break bones.^(A)
16 If you have found honey, eat only enough for you,
    lest, having too much, you vomit it up.^(B)
17 Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house,
    lest the neighbor become weary of you and hate you.
