Proverbs 25:28
Verse 28 of 28. The 25th of 31 chapters in Proverbs, in Poetry and Wisdom.
24It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a contentious woman.
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 walls is a man whose spirit is without restraint.
