Proverbs 25:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ If you are patient, you can win an official over to your side.
    And gentle words can break a bone.

¹⁶ If you find honey, eat just enough.
    If you eat too much of it, you will throw up.
¹⁷ Don’t go to your neighbor’s home very often.
    If they see too much of you, they will hate you.
