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

Verse 26 is found in chapter 25 of Proverbs. Slander and gossip are compared with elements capable of producing destructive consequences. The section again values a timely word and necessary rebuke. The conclusion compares a person without self-control to a city broken down and without walls. Self-control is therefore presented as inner defense: without it, a person remains exposed to every impulse that controls him.

Ein Gerechter, der vor einem Gottlosen fällt, ist wie ein getrübter Brunnen und eine verderbte Quelle.
Como fuente turbia y manantial corrompido, Es el justo que cae delante del impío.
Como manantial enturbiado y fuente contaminada es el justo que cede ante el malvado.
Comme une fontaine troublée et une source corrompue, Ainsi est le juste qui chancelle devant le méchant.
Il giusto che vacilla davanti all’empio, È una fonte calpestata, ed una vena d’acque guasta
Como fonte turvada, e manancial poluído, assim é o justo que cede diante do ímpio.
義人在惡人面前退縮, 好像攪渾之泉,污染之井。
