Proverbs 25:14-16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ Like clouds and wind when there is no rain,
    so too is a man who boasts in a gift of deception.
¹⁵ With patience^[a] a ruler may be persuaded,
    and a soft tongue will break a bone.^[b]
16 If you find honey, eat what is sufficient for you,
    lest you have your fill of it and vomit it out.
