Proverbs 25:26

Proverbs 25:26 New International Version (NIV)

Like a muddied spring or a polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked.

A righteous man who falters before the wicked Is like a murky spring and a polluted well.

A good person who gives in to a bad person is a muddied spring, a polluted well.

A righteous man falling down before the wicked Is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring.

Like a trampled spring and a polluted well Is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

A good person who gives in to evil is like a muddy spring or a dirty well.

As a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, So is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.

Like a muddied fountain and a polluted spring Is a righteous man who yields and compromises his integrity before the wicked.

If the godly give in to the wicked, it’s like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring.

When a lover of God gives in and compromises with wickedness, it can be compared to contaminating a stream with sewage or polluting a fountain.

Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
