Proverbs 25:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ Sometimes godly people give in to those who are evil.
    Then they become like a muddy spring of water or a polluted well.

²⁷ It isn’t good for you to eat too much honey.
    And you shouldn’t try to search out matters too deep for you.

²⁸ A person without self-control
    is like a city whose walls are broken through.
