Proverbs 25:23

Modern English Version

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

Proverbs 25:23

New King James Version

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

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

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

²⁸^(A)Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls.

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