Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 16 is found in chapter 25 of Proverbs. Eating too much honey becomes a metaphor for excess: even something good can become harmful when consumed without moderation. Friendship also requires boundaries; visiting a neighbor’s house too often can turn affection into weariness. The proverb about feeding a hungry enemy presents a way of responding to evil with concrete good, leaving the final outcome in the Lord’s hands.
