Proverbs 25:23-28

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.
