lest he be weary of you, and hate you.

Selected verse

As one who takes away a garment in cold weather,

or vinegar on soda,

so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

21

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat.

If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

22

for you will heap coals of fire on his head,

and the LORD will reward you.

23

The north wind produces rain;

so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
