Mishle 25:22-24

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²²For so shalt thou heap hot coals upon his rosh, and Hashem shall reward thee.

²³The ruach tzafon (north wind) brings forth geshem; so doth a lashon seter (backbiting tongue) bring an angry countenance.

²⁴It is better to dwell in the corner of the gag (roof), than in a bais shared with a quarrelsome isha.

Proverbs 25:22-24

New International Version

²²In doing this, you will heap burning coals^(A) on his head,
and the Lord will reward you.^(B)

²³Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain
is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.

²⁴Better to live on a corner of the roof
than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.^(C)
