Proverbs 25:24-27 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

24. It is better to live on a corner of a roof than to share a house with a nagging wife.

25. Hearing good news from a land far away is like drinking cold water when you are tired.

26. Sometimes a godly person gives in to those who are evil. Then he becomes like a muddy spring of water or a polluted well.

27. It isn't good for you to eat too much honey. And you shouldn't try to get others to honor you.
