Proverbs 25:23


Proverbs 25:22 Proverbs 25:23 (KJV) Proverbs 25:24
For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
The north wind driveth away rain: so [doth] an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
[It is] better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
