Proverbs 25:22

Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble

is like a bad tooth or a lame foot.

As one who takes away a garment in cold weather,

or vinegar on soda,

so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

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

If he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

The north wind produces rain;

so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.

It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop

than to share a house with a contentious woman.

Like cold water to a thirsty soul,

so is good news from a far country.
