Proverbs 25:23-25

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²³ The north wind brings forth rain; so does a backbiting tongue bring forth an angry countenance.

²⁴ It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a disagreeing, quarrelsome, and scolding woman.^(A)

²⁵ Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far [home] country.
