Proverbs 25:23

English Standard Version

²³The north wind brings forth rain,
and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

Proverbs 25:23

Lexham English Bible

²³The wind of the north produces rain,
and a backbiting tongue, angry faces.

²³Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain
is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.

²⁸A man ^(A)without self-control
is like ^(B)a city broken into and left without walls.

²⁸A breached city where there is no wall
is like a man who has no^[a] self-control for his spirit.

²⁸Like a city whose walls are broken through
is a person who lacks self-control.
