Proverbs 25:26-28

World English Bible

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.
²⁸ Like a city that is broken down and without walls
    is a man whose spirit is without restraint.
