Proverbs 25:25-27
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
25 Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
so is good news from a far country.
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain
are the righteous who give way before the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat much honey,
or to seek honour on top of honour.
Proverbs 25:25-27
New International Version
25 Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.(A)
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
are the righteous who give way to the wicked.
