Proverbs 25:25-27

Good News Translation

²⁵ Finally hearing good news from a distant land is like a drink of cold water when you are dry and thirsty.

²⁶ A good person who gives in to someone who is evil reminds you of a polluted spring or a poisoned well.

²⁷ Too much honey is bad for you, and so is trying to win too much praise.^[a]
