Proverbs 25:22-28

22 You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads, and the LORD will reward you.

23 As surely as a north wind brings rain, so a gossiping tongue causes anger!

24 It’s better to live alone in the corner of an attic than with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home.

25 Good news from far away is like cold water to the thirsty.

26 If the godly give in to the wicked, it’s like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring.

27 It’s not good to eat too much honey, and it’s not good to seek honors for yourself.

28 A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.
