Proverbs 25:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ A commander can be persuaded with patience,
    and a tender tongue can break a bone.
¹⁶ If you find honey, eat just the right amount;
    otherwise, you’ll get full and vomit it up.
¹⁷ Don’t spend too much time in your neighbor’s house.
    Otherwise, they’ll get fed up with you and hate you.
