27 It is not good to eat too much honey,

nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.

28 Like a city whose walls are broken through

is a person who lacks self-control.

27 It is not good to eat much honey,

nor is it glorious to seek one’s own glory.

28 A man without self-control

is like a city broken into and left without walls.

27 It is not good to eat much honey:

So for men to search their own glory is not glory.

28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit

Is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.

27 It’s not good to eat too much honey,

and it’s not good to seek honors for yourself.

28 A person without self-control

is like a city with broken-down walls.

27 It is not good to eat much honey;

So to seek one’s own glory is not glory.

28 Whoever has no rule over his own spirit

Is like a city broken down, without walls.

27 It is not good to eat too much honey,

nor does it bring you honor to brag about yourself.

28 Those who do not control themselves

are like a city whose walls are broken down.

27 It is not good to eat much honey:

So for men to search out their own glory is grievous.

28 He whose spirit is without restraint

Is like a city that is broken down and without walls.

27 It is not good to eat much honey; and to search into weighty matters is itself a weight.

28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is as a city broken down, without walls.

27 Eating too much honey is not good, 

and searching for honor is not honorable. 

28 ⸤Like⸥ a city broken into ⸤and⸥ left without a wall, 

⸤so⸥ is a person who lacks self-control. 

27 It is not good to eat too much honey

or to seek glory after glory.

28 A man who does not control his temper

is like a city whose wall is broken down.

27 It is not good to eat much honey,

or to seek honor on top of honor.

28 Like a city breached, without walls,

is one who lacks self-control.

27 To eat much honey is not good,

nor is seeking one’s honor honorable.

28 A breached city where there is no wall

is like a man who has no self-control for his spirit.

27 It isn’t good for you to eat too much honey.

And you shouldn’t try to get others to honor you.

28 A man who can’t control himself

is like a city whose walls are broken down.
