Proverbs 25:22-24
Legacy Standard Bible

22 For you will [a]heap burning coals on his head,
And (A)Yahweh will repay you.
23 The north wind brings forth rain,
And a (B)tongue of secrets, an indignant face.
24 It is (C)better to live in a corner of the roof
Than [b]in a house shared with a contentious woman.

Proverbs 25:22-24
New International Version

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

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

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