Proverbs 25:15

In context

13Like the cold of snow at harvest time is a faithful messenger to those who send him; he brings his master’s spirit back to life. 14Clouds and wind and no rain—that is a man who boasts of a gift he never gives. 15With patience a ruler is won over, and a soft tongue can break a bone. 16If you find honey, eat only your fill, or you will have too much of it and vomit it up. 17Keep your foot from your neighbor’s house, or he will have his fill of you and hate you.
