Proverbs 25:25-27

World English Bible

²⁵ Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
    so is good news from a far country.
²⁶ Like a muddied spring and a polluted well,
    so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
²⁷ It is not good to eat much honey,
    nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.
