Proverbs 25:25-27
American Standard Version
25 As cold waters to a [a]thirsty soul,
So is good news from a far country.
26 As a [b]troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring,
So is a righteous man that [c]giveth way before the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat much honey;
[d]So for men to search out their own glory is grievous.
