Proverbs 25:14-16
Amplified Bible
14
Like clouds and wind without rain
Is a man who boasts falsely of gifts [he does not give].(A)
15
By patience and a calm spirit a ruler may be persuaded,
And a soft and gentle tongue breaks the bone [of resistance].(B)
16
Have you found [pleasure sweet like] honey? Eat only as much as you need,
Otherwise, being filled excessively, you vomit it.
Proverbs 25:14-16
New International Version
14 Like clouds and wind without rain
is one who boasts of gifts never given.
16 If you find honey, eat just enough—
too much of it, and you will vomit.(C)
