Proverbs 25:25-27

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁵ Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
    so is good news from a far country.
²⁶ Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain
    are the righteous who give way before the wicked.
²⁷ It is not good to eat much honey,
    or to seek honour on top of honour.
