| NET | Through patience* a ruler can be persuaded,* and a soft tongue* can break a bone.* |
| NET | 25:15 Through patience2123 tn Heb “long of anger” or “forbearance” (so NASB). a ruler can be persuaded,2124 tn The two imperfect verbs in this line may be nuanced as potential imperfects because what is described could happen, but does not do so as a rule.
and a soft tongue2125 tn The “tongue” is a metonymy of cause; and so the expression here refers to soft or gentle speech. This fits well with the parallel idea of patience (“long of anger”) – through a calm patient persuasion much can be accomplished. Some English versions relate this figure directly to the persuasion of a ruler in the previous line (cf. TEV “can even convince rulers”). can break a bone.2126 sn The idea of breaking a bone uses the hardest and most firm part of the body in contrast to the “softness of the tongue.” Both are figurative, forming a comparison. A gentle speech can break down any stiff opposition.
