Proverbs 25:15
A church father on this verse
“By patience, a ruler shall be pacified, etc. Although you have offended the Lord by sinning, yet you can merit his clemency if you bear adversities imposed on you for your sins with patience, and with humble satisfaction render the hardness of your former stubbornness.”

In context
13As a fall of snow in the time of harvest is good against heat, So a faithful messenger refreshes those that send him; For he helps the souls of his employers.
14As winds and clouds and rains are most evident objects, So is he that boasts of a false gift.
— Proverbs 25:15 —
16Having found honey, eat only what is enough, Lest haply thou be filled, and vomit it up.
17Enter sparingly into thy friend’s house, Lest he be satiated with thy company, and hate thee.
