25 As cold water to a weary soul,
So
is agood news from a far country.
26 A righteous
man who falters before the wicked
Is like a murky spring and a
1 polluted well.
27 It is not good to eat much honey;
So
ato seek one’s own glory
is not glory.
28 aWhoever
has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls.
