23 The north wind bringeth forth rain: So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.
26 As a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, So is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat much honey: So for men to search out their own glory is grievous.
28 He whose spirit is without restraint Is like a city that is broken down and without walls.
