Proverbs 25:25-27
Amplified Bible

25 
Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
So is good news from a distant land.
26 
Like a muddied fountain and a polluted spring
Is a righteous man who yields and compromises his integrity before the wicked.
27 
It is not good to eat much honey,
Nor is it glorious to seek one’s own glory.
