Proverbs 25:25-27

Amplified Bible

²⁵ 
Like cold water to a thirsty soul,
So is good news from a distant land.
²⁶ 
Like a muddied fountain and a polluted spring
Is a righteous man who yields and compromises his integrity before the wicked.
²⁷ 
It is not good to eat much honey,
Nor is it glorious to seek one’s own glory.
