21 If thine enemy hunger, give him bread to eat; and if he thirst, give him water to drink: 22 For thou tookest up coals of fire upon his head, and Jehovah will recompense to thee. 23 The north wind will set free the rain, and an angry face, a hidden tongue. 24 Good to dwell upon a corner of the roof rather than with a woman of strifes and a house of community. 25 Cold waters to the fainting soul, and a good message from a land far off. 26 A fountain trampled down, and a fountain corrupted, the just one turned aside before the unjust one. 27 To eat much honey is not good: and to seek out their honor, not honor. 28 A city being broken down, and not a wall, a man who restrains not to his spirit.
