Proverbs 25:15-22

¹⁵In long-suffering is prosperity to kings, And a soft tongue breaks the bones.

¹⁶Having found honey, eat only what is enough, Lest haply thou be filled, and vomit it up.

¹⁷Enter sparingly into thy friend’s house, Lest he be satiated with thy company, and hate thee.

¹⁸As a club, and a dagger, and a pointed arrow, So also is a man who bears false witness against his friend.

¹⁹The way of the wicked and the foot of the transgressor shall perish in an evil day.

²⁰As vinegar is bad for a sore, So trouble befalling the body afflicts the heart.

^20aAs a moth in a garment, and a worm in wood, So the grief of a man hurts the heart.

²¹If thine enemy hunger, feed him; If he thirst, give him drink;

²²For so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, And the Lord shall reward thee with good.
