Proverbs 25:26-28
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
26 A just man falling down before the wicked, is as a fountain troubled with the foot, and a corrupted spring.
27 As it is not good for a man to eat much honey, so he that is a searcher of majesty, shall be overwhelmed by glory.
28 As a city that lieth open and is not compassed with walls, so is a man that cannot refrain his own spirit in speaking.

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.
