Proverbs 25:25-28

New International Version

²⁵ Like cold water to a weary soul
    is good news from a distant land.^(A)
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
    are the righteous who give way to the wicked.

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

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