Proverbs 25:25-27
New Living Translation
25 Good news from far away
is like cold water to the thirsty.
26 If the godly give in to the wicked,
it’s like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring.
27 It’s not good to eat too much honey,
and it’s not good to seek honors for yourself.
Proverbs 25:25-27
New International Version
25 Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.(A)
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well
are the righteous who give way to the wicked.
