23. The north wind brings forth rain,And a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
24. It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop,Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
25. As cold water to a weary soul,So is good news from a far country.
26. A righteous man who falters before the wickedIs like a murky spring and a polluted well.
27. It is not good to eat much honey;So to seek one’s own glory is not glory.
28. Whoever has no rule over his own spiritIs like a city broken down, without walls.
