Proverbs 25:23

Proverbs 25:23 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

23Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain

is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look.

23The north wind brings rain,

And a 25:23 Lit tongue of secrecygossiping tongue brings an angry face.

23The north wind brings forth rain,

And a backbiting tongue, an angry countenance.

23The north wind brings forth rain;

And a backbiting tongue, an angry countenance.

23As the north wind brings forth rain,

so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks.

23Like a north wind that brings rain you didn’t expect

is a crafty tongue that brings looks of shock.
