Proverbs 25:23-28 The Message (MSG)

23. A north wind brings stormy weather,and a gossipy tongue stormy looks.

24. Better to live alone in a tumbledown shackthan share a mansion with a nagging spouse.

25. Like a cool drink of water when you’re worn out and wearyis a letter from a long-lost friend.

26. A good person who gives in to a bad personis a muddied spring, a polluted well.

27. It’s not smart to stuff yourself with sweets,nor is glory piled on glory good for you.

28. A person without self-controlis like a house with its doors and windows knocked out.
