Proverbs 25:25-27

International Children’s Bible

²⁵ Hearing good news from a faraway place
    is like having a cool drink when you are tired.

²⁶ A good person who gives in to evil
    is like a muddy spring or a dirty well.

²⁷ It is not good to eat too much honey.
    In the same way, it is not good to brag about yourself.
