Proverbs 25:27-28

New King James Version

²⁷It is not good to eat much honey;
So ^(A)to seek one’s own glory is not glory.

²⁸^(B)Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls.

²⁷It is not good to eat too much honey,^(A)
nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.^(B)

²⁸Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.
