Proverbs
Chapters 25:25-28
Amplified Bible
25Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far [home] country.
26Like a muddied fountain and a polluted spring is a righteous man who yields, falls down, and compromises his integrity before the wicked.
27It is not good to eat much honey; so for men to seek glory, their own glory, causes suffering and is not glory.
28He who has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down and without walls. [Prov. 16:32.]
