Proverbs 25:21-28 ▼

21 If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

22 for you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.

23 The north wind produces rain, and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

24 Better to live on the corner of a roof than to share a house with a nagging wife.

25 Good news from a distant land is like cold water to a parched throat.

26 A righteous person who yields to the wicked is like a muddied spring or a polluted well.

27 It is not good to eat too much honey or to seek glory after glory.

28 A man who does not control his temper is like a city whose wall is broken down.
