23 The north wind brings forth rain, and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.
23 As surely as a north wind brings rain, so a gossiping tongue causes anger!
28 A man (A)without self-control is like (B)a city broken into and left without walls.
28 A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.
