23 ⌊As⌋ the north wind brings rain,so a whispering tongue brings angry looks.
24 Better to live on a corner of a roofthan to share a home with a quarreling woman.
25 ⌊Like⌋ cold water to a thirsty soul,so is good news from far away.
26 ⌊Like⌋ a muddied spring and a polluted well,⌊so⌋ is a righteous person who gives in to a wicked person.
27 Eating too much honey is not good,and searching for honor is not honorable.
28 ⌊Like⌋ a city broken into ⌊and⌋ left without a wall,⌊so⌋ is a person who lacks self-control.
