Proverbs 25:26-28
King James Version
26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

Proverbs 25:26-28
New International Version
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,(A)
nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.(B)
28 Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.
