Proverbs 25:25-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good tidings from a far country.

²⁶ A just man falling down before the wicked, is as a fountain troubled with the foot, and a corrupted spring.

²⁷ As it is not good for a man to eat much honey, so he that is a searcher of majesty, shall be overwhelmed by glory.
