21 If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat, if thirsty, give something to drink; 22 For live coals you will heap on their heads, and the LORD will vindicate you. 23 The north wind brings rain, and a backbiting tongue, angry looks. 24 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop than in a mansion with a quarrelsome wife. 25 Cool water to one faint from thirst is good news from a far country. 26 A trampled fountain or a polluted spring— a just person fallen before the wicked. 27 To eat too much honey is not good; nor to seek honor after honor. 28 A city breached and left defenseless are those who do not control their temper.
