22 Porque ascuas allegas sobre su cabeza, y Jehová te lo pagará.

23 El viento del norte ahuyenta la lluvia, y el rostro airado la lengua detractora.

24 Mejor es estar en un rincón de casa, que con la mujer rencillosa en espaciosa casa.

25 [Como] el agua fría al alma sedienta, así son las buenas nuevas de lejanas tierras.

26 [Como] fuente turbia y manantial corrompido, [es] el justo que cae delante del impío.
