Proverbs 25:16-20

¹⁶Hast thou found honey: eat so much as is sufficient for thee: lest thou consume too much of it, and have to vomit it forth.

¹⁷Make thy foot scarce in the house of thy friend: lest he have too much of thee, and so hate thee.

¹⁸A battle-axe, and a sword, and a sharpened arrow is a man that testifieth as a false witness against his neighbor.

¹⁹Like a broken tooth and a foot out of joint, is confidence in a treacherous man in a time of distress.

²⁰As he that taketh off his garment on a cold day, as vinegar is upon natron: so is he that singeth songs before an unhappy heart.
