Proverbs 25:23-28 Modern English Version (MEV)

23. The north wind brings rain,and a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

24. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetopthan with a brawling woman in a wide house.

25. As cold waters to a thirsty soul,so is good news from a far country.

26. A righteous man falling down before the wickedis as a troubled fountain and a corrupt spring.

27. It is not good to eat much honey;so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

28. He who has no rule over his own spiritis like a city that is broken down and without walls.
