Proverbs
Chapters 25:14-20
New International Version Anglicized
14Like clouds and wind without rainis one who boasts of gifts never given.
15Through patience a ruler can be persuaded,and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
16If you find honey, eat just enough –too much of it, and you will vomit.
17Seldom set foot in your neighbour’s house –too much of you, and they will hate you.
18Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrowis one who gives false testimony against a neighbour.
19Like a broken tooth or a lame footis reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.
20Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day,or like vinegar poured on a wound,is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
