Proverbs 25:14-16

¹⁴Like clouds and wind without rain, so is a man that vaunteth falsely of a gift.

¹⁵By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh bones.

¹⁶Hast thou found honey: eat so much as is sufficient for thee: lest thou consume too much of it, and have to vomit it forth.
