Proverbs 25:15-17

English Standard Version

¹⁵ With ^(A)patience a ruler may be persuaded,
    and a soft tongue will break a bone.
¹⁶ If you have ^(B)found honey, eat ^(C)only enough for you,
    lest you have your fill of it and vomit it.
¹⁷ Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house,
    lest he have his fill of you and hate you.
