Proverbs 25:18 — Meaning and Application

Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.

Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee, and {so} hate thee. {Withdraw...: or, Let thy foot be seldom in} {weary...: Heb. full of thee}

A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour {is} a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble {is like} a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

{As} he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, {and as} vinegar upon nitre, so {is} he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
