Proverbs 25:26-28

New King James Version

²⁶A righteous man who falters before the wicked
Is like a murky spring and a ^[a]polluted well.

²⁷It is not good to eat much honey;
So ^(A)to seek one’s own glory is not glory.

²⁸^(B)Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls.

Proverbs 25:26-28

New International Version

²⁶Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
are the righteous who give way to the wicked.

²⁷It is not good to eat too much honey,^(A)
nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.^(B)

²⁸Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.
