Proverbs 25:25-27

New Catholic Bible

²⁵ Like cold water to a thirsty throat
    is good news from a distant land.
²⁶ Like a muddy spring or a polluted well
    is a righteous man who trembles before the wicked.
²⁷ It is not good to eat too much honey,
    neither is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.
