Proverbs 25:21–27

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.

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.

Like a muddied spring and a polluted well,

so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

It is not good to eat much honey,

nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.
