Proverbs 25:15-19

¹⁵By long forbearing is a prince 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.

¹⁷Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour’s house; Lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee.

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

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