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 Yahweh will repay you.

23 The north wind brings forth rain, And a tongue of secrets, an indignant face.

24 It is better to live in a corner of the roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

25 Like cold water to a weary soul, So is a good report from a distant land.

26 Like a muddied spring and a corrupted well Is a righteous man shaking before the wicked.

27 To eat too much honey is not good, Nor is it glory to search out one’s own glory.

28 Like a city that is broken into and without a wall Is a man without restraint over his spirit.
