New Century Version

Proverbs 25:15-20 New Century Version (NCV)

15. With patience you can convince a ruler,and a gentle word can get through to the hard-headed.

16. If you find honey, don’t eat too much,or it will make you throw up.

17. Don’t go to your neighbor’s house too often;too much of you will make him hate you.

18. When you lie about your neighbors,it hurts them as much as a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.

19. Trusting unfaithful people when you are in troubleis like eating with a broken tooth or walking with a crippled foot.

20. Singing songs to someone who is sadis like taking away his coat on a cold dayor pouring vinegar on soda.
