Proverbs 25:23-28

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