Proverbs 25:15-23

15With patience a ruler may be persuaded, and a soft tongue will break a bone.

16If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, lest you have your fill of it and vomit it.

17Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house, lest he have his fill of you and hate you.

18A man who bears false witness against his neighbor is like a war club, or a sword, or a sharp arrow.

19Trusting in a treacherous man in time of trouble is like a bad tooth or a foot that slips.

20Whoever sings songs to a heavy heart is like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, and like vinegar on soda.

21If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,

22for you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.

23The north wind brings forth rain, and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.
