27 It is not good to eat too much honey,

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

27 It is not good to eat much honey,

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

27 It is not good to eat much honey:

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

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

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

27 It is not good to eat too much honey,

nor does it bring you honor to brag about yourself.

27 It is not good to eat much honey:

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

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

27 Eating too much honey is not good, 

and searching for honor is not honorable. 

27 It is not good to eat too much honey

or to seek glory after glory.

27 It is not good to eat much honey,

or to seek honor on top of honor.

27 To eat much honey is not good,

nor is seeking one’s honor honorable.

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

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

27 It is not good to eat much honey,

Nor is it glory to search out one’s own glory.
