Proverbs 25:14-16
New American Standard Bible 1995

14 Like (A)clouds and (B)wind without rain
Is a man who boasts [a]of his gifts falsely.
15 By [b](C)forbearance a ruler may be persuaded,
And a soft tongue breaks the bone.
16 Have you (D)found honey? Eat only [c]what you need,
That you not have it in excess and vomit it.
