Proverbs

¹⁸A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor Is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow. ¹⁹Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint. ²⁰As one that taketh off a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon soda, So is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart. ²¹If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he be thirsty, give him water to drink: ²²For thou wilt heap coals of fire upon his head, And Jehovah will reward thee. ²³The north wind bringeth forth rain: So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance. ²⁴It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.
