Proverbs 25:25-27

The Message

²⁵ Like a cool drink of water when you’re worn out and weary
    is a letter from a long-lost friend.

²⁶ A good person who gives in to a bad person
    is a muddied spring, a polluted well.

²⁷ It’s not smart to stuff yourself with sweets,
    nor is glory piled on glory good for you.
