Proverbs 25:15

15 A commander can be persuaded with patience, and a tender tongue can break a bone.

Proverbs 25:15 In-Context

13 Like the coolness of snow on a harvest day are reliable messengers to those who send them; they restore the life of their master.
14 People who brag about a gift never given are like clouds and wind that produce no rain.
15 A commander can be persuaded with patience, and a tender tongue can break a bone.
16 If you find honey, eat just the right amount; otherwise, you'll get full and vomit it up.
17 Don't spend too much time in your neighbor's house. Otherwise, they'll get fed up with you and hate you.
