Proverbs 25:22-28 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

22. For you will heap burning coals on his head, And the Lord will reward you.

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

24. It is better to live in a corner of the roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

25. Like cold water to a weary soul, So is good news from a distant land.

26. Like a trampled spring and a polluted well Is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

27. It is not good to eat much honey, Nor is it glory to search out one's own glory.

28. Like a city that is broken into and without walls Is a man who has no control over his spirit.
