Proverbs 25:23-28

23 The north wind brings forth rain, And a ¹backbiting tongue, an angry countenance.

24 It is ²better to live in a corner of the roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

25 Like cold water to a weary soul, So is ³good news from a distant land.

26 Like a ⁴trampled spring and a polluted well Is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

27 It is not good to eat much honey, Nor is it glory to ⁵search out one's own glory.

28 Like a ⁶city that is broken into and without walls Is a man ⁷who has no control over his spirit.
