27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
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's not smart to stuff yourself with sweets, nor is glory piled on glory good for you.
27 It is not good to eat much honey; So to seek one's 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.

We must be, through grace, dead to the pleasures of sense, and also to the praises of men.
