PROVERBS 25:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.”
If you find honey, eat just enough—too much of it, and you will vomit—a warning against excess even of good things, establishing that moderation in consumption is required. The consequence 'vomit' suggests that overindulgence reverses the good. The theological significance involves the principle that virtue includes moderation.
