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