Proverbs 25:23-28 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

23. The north wind brings rain.In the same way, telling gossip brings angry looks.

24. It is better to live in a corner on the roofthan inside the house with a quarreling wife.

25. Hearing good news from a faraway placeis like having a cool drink when you are tired.

26. A good person who gives in to evilis like a muddy spring or a dirty well.

27. It is not good to eat too much honey.In the same way, it is not good to brag about yourself.

28. A person who does not control himselfis like a city whose walls have been broken down.
