Berean Standard Bible
Proverbs 25:26
“Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked.”
In context
24Better to live on a corner of the roof than to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
25Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land.
26Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous man who gives way to the wicked.
27It is not good to eat too much honey or to search out one’s own glory.
28Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who does not control his temper.
