Eating too much honey;set foot in your neighbor’s house too much…hate u; treatment of a hungry enemy; north wind v sly tongue; quarrelsome wife; lacks self control like a city whose walls are broken down (vs 28).
Proverbs 25:16-28
[16]Never eat more honey than you need; too much may make you vomit.
[17]Don’t visit your neighbours too often; they may get tired of you and come to hate you.
[18]A false accusation is as deadly as a sword, a club, or a sharp arrow.
[19]Depending on an unreliable person in a crisis is like trying to chew with a loose tooth or walk with a crippled foot.
[20]Singing to a person who is depressed is like taking off his clothes on a cold day or like rubbing salt in a wound.
[21]If your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them a drink.
[22]You will make them burn with shame, and the Lord will reward you.
[23]Gossip brings anger just as surely as the north wind brings rain.
[24]Better to live on the roof than share the house with a nagging wife.
[25]Finally, hearing good news from a distant land is like a drink of cold water when you are dry and thirsty.
[26]A good person who gives in to someone who is evil reminds you of a polluted spring or a poisoned well.
[27]Too much honey is bad for you, and so is trying to win too much praise.
[28]If you cannot control your anger, you are as helpless as a city without walls, open to attack.
