Proverbs 25:15
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
In context
13 Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the soul of his masters.
14 Like clouds and wind without rain is the man who boasts of gifts never given.
15 Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
16 If you find honey, eat just what you need, lest you have too much and vomit it up.
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor’s house, lest he grow weary and hate you.
