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

25. Good news from a distant landis like cold water to a parched throat.

26. A righteous person who yields to the wicked is like a muddied spring or a polluted well.

27. It is not good to eat too much honey or to seek glory after glory.

28. A man who does not control his temper is like a city whose wall is broken down.
