23 The north wind brings rain.In the same way, telling gossip brings angry looks.
24 It is better to live in a corner on the roofthan inside the house with a quarreling wife.
25 Hearing good news from a faraway placeis like having a cool drink when you are tired.
26 A good person who gives in to evilis like a muddy spring or a dirty well.
27 It is not good to eat too much honey.In the same way, it is not good to brag about yourself.
28 A person who does not control himselfis like a city whose walls have been broken down.
