Proverbs 25:25-27
Lexham English Bible

25 Like cold water[a] upon a weary soul,[b]
    so too is good news from a distant place.
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain
    is the righteous who gives way before the wicked.
27 To eat much honey is not good,
    nor is seeking one’s honor[c] honorable.
