Proverbs 25:15-17

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁵ With patience a ruler may be won over,
    and a gentle tongue can break bones.

¹⁶ If you find honey, eat only what you need;
    for if you eat too much of it, you may throw it up;
¹⁷ so don’t visit your neighbor too much,
    or he may get his fill of you and come to hate you.
