23 The north wind drives away rain, so does an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain and a corrupt spring.
27 It is not good to eat much honey, so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28 The man whose spirit has no restraint is like a city that is broken down and without walls.
