Mishle 25:23-25

Orthodox Jewish Bible

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

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

²⁵ As cold mayim to a weary nefesh, so is good news from a far country.
