23 The north wind produces rain;so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop,than to share a house with a contentious woman.
25 Like cold water to a thirsty soul,so is good news from a far country.
26 Like a muddied spring, and a polluted well,so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
27 It is not good to eat much honey;nor is it honourable to seek one’s own honour.
28 Like a city that is broken down and without wallsis a man whose spirit is without restraint.
