Proverbs 25:23-28

²³As the north wind gives birth to rain, so is an angry face caused by a tongue saying evil secretly.

²⁴It is better to be living in an angle of the house-top, than with a bitter-tongued woman in a wide house.

²⁵As cold water to a tired soul, so is good news from a far country.

²⁶Like a troubled fountain and a dirty spring, is an upright man who has to give way before evil-doers.

²⁷It is not good to take much honey: so he who is not looking for honour will be honoured.

²⁸He whose spirit is uncontrolled is like an unwalled town which has been broken into.
