Proverbs 25:15-17

Revised Standard Version

¹⁵ With patience a ruler may be persuaded,
    and a soft tongue will break a bone.
¹⁶ If you have found honey, eat only enough for you,
    lest you be sated with it and vomit it.
¹⁷ Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor’s house,
    lest he become weary of you and hate you.
