Proverbs 25
V. 23. The north wind driveth away rain, blowing from the north, it produces rain, it blows up a rain-storm; so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue, for if the tongue is busy spreading slander, it produces troubled faces, worried looks, angry frowns.
V. 24. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman and in a wide house. Compare chapter 21, 9.
V. 25. As cold waters to a thirsty soul, producing the same feeling of refreshment, so is good news from a far country, that concerning an absent friend or relative.
