Proverbs 25:26-28

Living Bible

²⁶ If a godly man compromises with the wicked, it is like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring.

²⁷ Just as it is harmful to eat too much honey, so also it is bad for men to think about all the honors they deserve!

²⁸ A man without self-control is as defenseless as a city with broken-down walls.
