Proverbs 25:22-28

22 For you will heap fiery coals [of shame] on his head, and ADONAI will reward you.
23 The north wind brings rain and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.
24 It is better to live on a corner of the roof than to share the house with a nagging wife.
25 Like cold water to a person faint from thirst is good news from a distant land.
26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous person who gives way before the wicked.
27 It isn't good to eat too much honey or to seek honor after honor.
28 Like a city breached, without walls, is a person who lacks self-control.
