“It is not good to eat much honey,nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.”
Proverbs 25:27 (WEB)
Context Reading
25Like cold water to a thirsty soul,so is good news from a far country. 26Like a muddied spring and a polluted well,so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked. 27It is not good to eat much honey,nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor. 28Like a city that is broken down and without wallsis a man whose spirit is without restraint.
