Proverbs 25:22-28

22 Doing this will be like pouring burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.

23 As the north wind brings rain, telling gossip brings angry looks.

24 It is better to live in a corner on the roofn than inside the house with a quarreling wife.

25 Good news from a faraway place is like a cool drink when you are tired.

26 A good person who gives in to evil is like a muddy spring or a dirty well.

27 It is not good to eat too much honey, nor does it bring you honor to brag about yourself.

28 Those who do not control themselves are like a city whose walls are broken down.
