Proverbs 25:22-28 English Standard Version (ESV)

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, angry looks.

24. It is better to live in a corner of the housetopthan in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.

25. Like cold water to a thirsty soul,so is good news from a far country.

26. Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountainis a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

27. It is not good to eat much honey,nor is it glorious to seek one’s own glory.

28. A man without self-controlis like a city broken into and left without walls.
