Proverbs 25:14-18

¹⁴As clouds and wind without rain, So is he that boasteth himself of his gifts falsely.

¹⁵By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaketh the bone.

¹⁶Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, Lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

¹⁷Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbor’s house, Lest he be weary of thee, and hate thee.

¹⁸A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor Is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
