Proverbs 25:14-17 Holman Christian Standard Bible

The man who boasts about a gift that does not exist

is like clouds and wind without rain.

A ruler can be persuaded through patience,

and a gentle tongue can break a bone.

 If you find honey, eat only what you need;

otherwise, you’ll get sick from it and vomit.

Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house;

otherwise, he’ll get sick of you and hate you.
