Proverbs 25:15


Proverbs 25:14 Proverbs 25:15 (KJV) Proverbs 25:16
Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift [is like] clouds and wind without rain.
By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
