16 If you have honey, take only as much as is enough for you; for fear that, being full of it, you may not be able to keep it down.

17 Let not your foot be frequently in your neighbour's house, or he may get tired of you, and his feeling be turned to hate.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 25:16-17
