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.

Proverbs 25:23-25
New International Version
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.(A)
25 Like cold water to a weary soul
is good news from a distant land.(B)
