Proverbs 25:26-28

Modern English Version

²⁶A righteous man falling down before the wicked
is as a troubled fountain and a corrupt spring.

²⁷It is not good to eat much honey;
so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

²⁸He who has no rule over his own spirit
is like a city that is broken down and without walls.
