Proverbs 25:15-22

¹⁵A Prince is pacified by staying of anger, and a soft tongue breaketh the bones.

¹⁶If thou haue found hony, eate that is sufficient for thee, least thou be ouerfull, and vomit it.

¹⁷Withdrawe thy foote from thy neighbours house, least he be weary of thee, and hate thee.

¹⁸A man that beareth false witnes against his neighbour, is like an hammer and a sword, and a sharpe arrowe.

¹⁹Confidence in an vnfaythfull man in time of trouble, is like a broken tooth and a sliding foote.

²⁰Hee that taketh away the garment in the colde season, is like vineger powred vpon nitre, or like him that singeth songs to an heauy heart.

²¹If hee that hateth thee be hungry, giue him bread to eate, and if he be thirstie, giue him water to drinke.

²²For thou shalt lay coles vpon his head, and the Lord shall recompense thee.
