Proverbs 25

"A word aptly spoken
is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

If you find honey, eat just enough -
too much of it, and you will vomit.

Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house -
too much of you, and he will hate you.

Like a bad tooth or a lame foot
is reliance on the unfaithful in times of trouble.

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.

It is not good to eat too much honey,
nor is it honorable to seek one's own honor."

Wisdom, wisdom & more wisdom!!!
Each verse has deep meaning by itself.
Read them carefully and try to apply just one from this
brief part of chapter 25.
My personal favorite is -
A word aptly spoken
is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
