Proverbs 25:15-23

15Through patience a ruler may be persuaded, and a soft tongue can break a bone.

16When you find honey, eat just enough, lest you are stuffed and vomit it.

17Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house, lest he become weary of you and loathe you.

18Like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow is one who bears false witness against his neighbor.

19Like a broken tooth or a lame foot is confidence in the unfaithful in time of trouble.

20Like taking off a garment on a cold day or like vinegar poured on soda, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

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

22for you will heap coals of fire on his head and Adonai will reward you.

23A north wind brings rain, and a backbiting tongue angry faces.
