23 The north wind brings forth rain,
And ^aa backbiting tongue an angry countenance. ‡

24 ^aIt is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop,
Than in a house shared with a contentious woman. ‡

26 A righteous man who falters before the wicked
Is like a murky spring and a¹ polluted well. ‡

27 It is not good to eat much honey;
So ^ato seek one’s own glory is not glory. ‡
