Proverbs 25:23-25
American Standard Version
Proverbs 25:23-25
American Standard Version
23 The north wind bringeth forth rain;
So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop,
Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.
25 As cold waters to a [a]thirsty soul,
So is good news from a far 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)
