Proverbs 25:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ Hearing good news from a land far away
    is like drinking cold water when you are tired.

²⁶ Sometimes godly people give in to those who are evil.
    Then they become like a muddy spring of water or a polluted well.

²⁷ It isn’t good for you to eat too much honey.
    And you shouldn’t try to search out matters too deep for you.
