Proverbs 25:14-16

Amplified Bible

¹⁴ 
Like clouds and wind without rain
Is a man who boasts falsely of gifts [he does not give].^(A)
15 
By patience and a calm spirit a ruler may be persuaded,
And a soft and gentle tongue breaks the bone [of resistance].^(B)
16 
Have you found [pleasure sweet like] honey? Eat only as much as you need,
Otherwise, being filled excessively, you vomit it.
