A north wind bringeth forth rain, And a secret tongue -- indignant faces.Proverbs 25:23 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the BibleThe north wind driveth away rain - The margin has, "The north wind bringeth forth rain." It is said that the "north wind brings forth rain at Jerusalem, because it brings with it the vapours arising from the sea that lies north of it." The marginal is the true reading; and is supported by the Chaldee, Syriac, and Septuagint; but the Arabic reads south wind.
A backbiting tongue - A hidden tongue.
