ר֣וּחַ צָ֭פוֹן תְּח֣וֹלֵֽל גָּ֑שֶׁם וּפָנִ֥ים נִ֝זְעָמִ֗ים לְשׁ֣וֹן סָֽתֶר׃
Seperti angin utara melahirkan hujan, demikianlah lidah yang memfitnah secara diam-diam menimbulkan wajah yang murka.
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
R. Simon b. Pazi said: "Rains are not withheld except for such sin as slander; as it is said (Pr. 25, 23) The north wind bringeth forth rain; and a back-biting tongue on angry countenances." R. Sala said, in the name of R. Hamnuna: "Rains are withheld only on account of the sin of insolence; as it is said (Jer. 3, 3) Therefore the showers have been withheld and there hath been no later rains; yet hadst a harlot's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed."
