Proverbs 25:15-17

Lexham English Bible

¹⁵ With patience^[a] a ruler may be persuaded,
    and a soft tongue will break a bone.^[b]
16 If you find honey, eat what is sufficient for you,
    lest you have your fill of it and vomit it out.
¹⁷ Make your foot scarce in the house of your neighbor,
    lest he become weary of you and hate you.
