Proverbs 25:23-24

Proverbs 25:23 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
 
This first verse is telling us just as any wind will blow away the rain so will an angry from stop a person from saying something they should not. We should keep ourselves so in tune with God that we do not have to have someone give us a stern look to keep us from saying something we should not. Next we see that what makes a home is not the size of a house but that there is peace between the people that live there. There is never enough room in a home for a fighting person, man or woman, because it will make for a miserable lifestyle.Again we can see by these verses we need to learn to control our speech and our temperament and this is done by following the Biblical principals of God’s Word.
