Proverbs · chapter 25 · verse 26
A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.Proverbs 25:26 · King James Version
Proverbs 25:26 in context
24It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.
27It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
