Proverbs 25:27

²⁵ As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

²⁶ A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.

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.
