Proverbs 25:25-27
Darby Translation

25 [As] cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

26 A troubled fountain, and a defiled well, is a righteous [man] that giveth way before the wicked.

27 It is not good to eat much honey; and to search into weighty matters is [itself] a weight.
