Mishle 25:25-28 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

25. As cold mayim to a weary nefesh, so is good news from a far country.

26. A tzaddik who falters before the rasha is like a muddy spring, and a polluted makor (fountain).

27. It is not tov to eat much devash; so for men to seek their own kavod is not glory.

28. He that hath no rule over his own ruach is like an ir that is broken down, and without a chomah (wall).
