Proverbs 25:14-20

¹⁴As clouds and wind without rain, So is the man that boasteth falsely of giving.

¹⁵By long forbearing is a prince appeased; And a soft tongue breaketh bones.

¹⁶Hast thou found honey? eat what is sufficient for thee, Lest thou be surfeited with it, and vomit it up.

¹⁷Let thy foot be seldom in the house of thy friend, Lest he be surfeited with thee and hate thee.

¹⁸A battle-hammer, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, Is the man who beareth false witness against his neighbor.

¹⁹As a broken tooth, and a wavering foot, So is trust in an unfaithful man in time of trouble.

²⁰As he that taketh off a garment on a cold day, As vinegar upon nitre, So is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.
