Proverbs 25:26-28
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
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 honor on top of honor.
28 Like a city breached, without walls,
is one who lacks self-control.

nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.(B)

is a person who lacks self-control.
