જેવો ડહોળાયેલો ઝરો અથવા વિનાશક કૂવો છે, તેવો જ દુશ્મનોની આગળથી ખસી જનાર નેક પુરુષ છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २५:२६
जो धर्मी दुष्ट के कहने में आता है, वह खराब जल-स्रोत और बिगड़े हुए कुण्ड के समान है।

In context

24It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a contentious woman.

25Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

26Like a muddied spring and a polluted well, so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

27It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.
