Proverbs 25:25-27
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 25

25 Like cold water to a weary soul, So is good news from a distant land. 26 Like a trampled spring and a polluted well, So is a righteous person who gives way before the wicked. 27It is not good to eat much honey, Nor is it glory to search out one’s own glory.
King James Version

Chapter 25

25As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 25

25Good news from a distant land is like cold water to a parched throat. 26A righteous person who yields to the wicked is like a muddied spring or a polluted well. 27It is not good to eat too much honey or to seek glory after glory.
New Living Translation

Chapter 25

English Standard Version

25Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land.

New King James Version

Chapter 25

25 As cold water to a weary soul, So is good news from a far country. 26A righteous man who falters before the wicked Is like a murky spring and a polluted well. 27 It is not good to eat much honey; So to seek one’s own glory is not glory.
