Proverbs 25:23

"The north wind bringeth forth rain; So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance."

The versions reveal two different meanings of this. "The north wind drives away rain; so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue."[10] Here the angry countenance is that of one who hears the words of the backbiter. "The north wind brings forth rain; and a backbiting tongue, angry looks."[11] Here the angry looks are upon the face of the victim of the slander. The passage is true both ways.
