Proverbs 25:15-28 (Complete Jewish Bible)

15 With patience a ruler may be won over, and a gentle tongue can break bones. 16 If you find honey, eat only what you need; for if you eat too much of it, you may throw it up; 17 so don't visit your neighbor too much, or he may get his fill of you and come to hate you. 18 Like a club, a sword or a sharp arrow is a person who gives false testimony against a neighbor. 19 Relying on an untrustworthy person in a time of trouble is like [relying on] a broken tooth or an unsteady leg. 20 Like removing clothes on a chilly day or like vinegar on soda is someone who sings songs to a heavy heart. 21 If someone who hates you is hungry, give him food to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. 22 For you will heap fiery coals [of shame] on his head, and ADONAI will reward you. 23 The north wind brings rain and a backbiting tongue, angry looks. 24 It is better to live on a corner of the roof than to share the house with a nagging wife. 25 Like cold water to a person faint from thirst is good news from a distant land. 26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous person who gives way before the wicked. 27 It isn't good to eat too much honey or to seek honor after honor. 28 Like a city breached, without walls, is a person who lacks self-control.
