Proverbs 25:15-17

New Century Version

¹⁵ With patience you can convince a ruler,
    and a gentle word can get through to the hard-headed.

¹⁶ If you find honey, don’t eat too much,
    or it will make you throw up.
¹⁷ Don’t go to your neighbor’s house too often;
    too much of you will make him hate you.
