Proverbs 25:17 Context
15By long forbearing is a Prince perswaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. 16Hast thou found hony? eate so much as is sufficient for thee: lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it. 17Withdraw thy foote from thy neighbours house: lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee. 18A man that beareth false witnes against his neighbour, is a maule, and a sword, and a sharpe arrow. 19Confidence in an vnfaithfull man in time of trouble, is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of ioynt.
