Proverbs 25:25-27

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁵ If you receive good news from a far away country, it is like cool water when you are tired and thirsty.

²⁶ If you put dirt in a well, its good water becomes bad. It is the same with a righteous person who agrees to do wicked things.

²⁷ It is bad for you to eat too much honey. If you always want people to praise you, it is also bad for you.
