Proverbs

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. ²⁵As cold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country. ²⁶As a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, So is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.
