Proverbs 25:18
Compare all
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.
20 Like one who takes away a garment in cold weather,
And like vinegar on soda,
Is one who asings songs to a heavy heart.
