Exegesis
The proverb features parallel clauses introduced by the verb tekholel {תְּח֣וֹלֵֽל | te-ḥō-lēl} ‘brings forth’, first applied to the noun phrase ruach tsafon {ר֣וּחַ צָ֭פוֹן | rū-aḥ ṣā-pōn} ‘north wind’ with object gashem {גָּ֑שֶׁם | gā-šem} ‘rain’, establishing a cause-and-effect sequence.
In context — Proverbs 25:23
The north wind brings forth rain, and a tongue brings forth an angry face .
