Proverbs 25:23-26

New King James Version

²³ The north wind brings forth rain,
And ^(A)a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

^24 (B)It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop,
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

²⁵ As cold water to a weary soul,
So is ^(C)good news from a far country.

²⁶ A righteous man who falters before the wicked
Is like a murky spring and a ^[a]polluted well.
