Proverbs 25:25-27
New American Standard Bible 1995
25 Like cold water to a weary soul,
So is (A)good news from a distant land.
26 Like a (B)trampled spring and a [a]polluted well
Is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat much honey,
Nor is it glory to (C)search out [b]one’s own glory.
