23 A north wind brings rain, and a backbiting tongue angry faces.
24 Better to dwell in a corner of a roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
25 Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land.
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous person who yields before the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat too much honey, or honorable to seek one’s own honor.
28 Like a city whose walls are broken down is one with no control over his temper.
