Proverbs 25:16-17
Proverbs 25:16-17 The Message (MSG)
When you’re given a box of candy, don’t gulp it all down; eat too much chocolate and you’ll make yourself sick; And when you find a friend, don’t outwear your welcome; show up at all hours and he’ll soon get fed up.
Proverbs 25:16-17 The Passion Translation (TPT)
When you discover something sweet, don’t overindulge and eat more than you need, for excess in anything can make you sick of even a good thing. Don’t wear out your welcome by staying too long at the home of your friends, or they may get fed up with always having you there and wish you hadn’t come.
Proverbs 25:16-17 The Message (MSG)
