Proverbs 25:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 25:16

Compare all

14 ^aWhoever falsely boasts of giving
Is like ^bclouds and wind without rain.

15 ^aBy long forbearance a ruler is persuaded,
And a gentle tongue breaks a bone.

16 Have you found honey?
Eat only as much as you need,
Lest you be filled with it and vomit.

17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house,
Lest he become weary of you and hate you.

18 ^aA man who bears false witness against his neighbor
Is like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow.

19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble
Is like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint.
