Proverbs 25:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ As clouds, and wind, when no rain followeth, so is the man that boasteth, and doth not fulfill his promises.

¹⁵ By patience a prince shall be appeased, and a soft tongue shall break hardness.

¹⁶ Thou hast found honey, eat what is sufficient for thee, lest being glutted therewith thou vomit it up.
