“It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.”
Proverbs 25:27 (KJV)
Context Reading
25As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. 26A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring. 27It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory. 28He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
