Proverbs

²³The north wind bringeth forth rain: so doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance. ²⁴It is better to dwell in the comer of the housetop, than with a contentious woman in a wide house. ²⁵As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. ²⁶As a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, so is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked. ²⁷It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search out their own glory is not glory. ²⁸He whose spirit is without restraint is like a city that is broken down and hath no wall.
