21 Yf thine enemie honger, fede him: yf he thyrst, geue him drynke: 22 for so shalt thou heape coales offyre vpo his heade, and the LORDE shal rewarde the. 23 The north wynde dryueth awaye the rayne, euen so doth an earnest sober countenauce a backbyters tonge. 24 It is better to syt in a corner vnder the rofe, then wt a braulynge woman in a wyde house. 25 A good reporte out of a farre countre, is like colde water to a thyrstie soule. 26 A righteous man fallynge downe before the vngodly, is like a troubled well and a sprynge yt is destroyed. 27 Like as it is not good to eate to moch hony, euen so he that wyll search out hye thynges, it shal be to heuy for him. 28 He that can not rule himself, is like a cite, which is broken downe, and hath no walles. Proverbs 25:21-28, Coverdale Bible of 1535. Public domain.
