Final warnings on words and self-control
The north wind brings forth rain: So a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than to share a house with a contentious woman.
Like cold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.
Like a muddied spring, and a polluted well, So is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
It is not good to eat much honey; Nor is it honorable to seek ones own honor.
Like a city that is broken down and without walls Is a man whose spirit is without restraint.
