ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૨૫:૨૩
ઉત્તરનો પવન વરસાદ લાવે છે; તેમ જ ચાડીકરનારી જીભ ક્રોધિત ચહેરો ઉપજાવે છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन २५:२३
जैसे उत्तरी वायु वर्षा को लाती है, वैसे ही चुगली करने से मुख पर क्रोध छा जाता है।

In context

21If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

22for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and the LORD will reward you.

23The north wind produces rain; so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.

24It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a contentious woman.

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