Proverbs 25:25-27

Expanded Bible

²⁵ Good news from a faraway place
is like a cool drink when you are tired.

²⁶ A good person who ·gives in to [staggers before] evil
is like a ·muddy [foul] spring or a ·dirty [ruined] well.

²⁷ It is not good to eat too much honey,
nor does it bring you honor to ·brag about yourself [seek honor].
