Proverbs 25:23-25

New International Reader's Version

²³ Like a north wind that brings rain you didn’t expect
    is a crafty tongue that brings looks of shock.

²⁴ It is better to live on a corner of a roof
    than to share a house with a nagging wife.

²⁵ Hearing good news from a land far away
    is like drinking cold water when you are tired.
