16 If you find honey, eat just enough- too much of it, and you will vomit.
16 Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.
16 If you have found honey, eat only enough for you, lest you have your fill of it and vomit it.
16 When you're given a box of candy, don't gulp it all down; eat too much chocolate and you'll make yourself sick;
16 Have you found honey? Eat only as much as you need, Lest you be filled with it and vomit.
16 Do you like honey? Don't eat too much, or it will make you sick!
