Proverbs 25:27
25 Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land.
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked.
It is not good to eat too much honey or to search out one’s own glory.
28 Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who does not control his temper.
