The north wind brings forth rain, and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.
For I fear that perhaps when I come I may find you not as I wish, and that you may find me not as you wish—that perhaps there may be quarreling, jealousy, anger, hostility, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder.
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.
who does not slander with his tongue and does no evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend;
Out of the north comes golden splendor; God is clothed with awesome majesty.
Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy. Whoever has a haughty look and an arrogant heart I will not endure.
