Proverbs 25:15-19

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 neighbour's house; lest he be sated with thee, and hate thee.

¹⁸As a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, so is a man that beareth false witness against his neighbour.

¹⁹Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
