PROVERBS 25:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.”
It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep for you—a warning against two forms of excess: overindulgence and seeking beyond one's capacity, establishing that wisdom includes knowing limits. The parallelism condemns both excessive eating and excessive inquiry. The theological significance involves the principle of knowing one's place and limits.
