17 Don’t go to your neighbor’s house too often.Too much of you will make him hate you.
18 Anyone who lies about his neighborhurts him as a club, a sword or a sharp arrow would.
19 Don’t trust unfaithful people when you are in trouble.It’s like eating with a broken tooth or walking with a crippled foot.
20 Don’t sing songs to someone who is sad.It’s like taking off a coat on a cold dayor pouring vinegar on soda.
21 If your enemy is hungry, feed him.If he is thirsty, give him a drink.
22 Doing this will be like pouring burning coals on his head.And the Lord will reward you.
23 The north wind brings rain.In the same way, telling gossip brings angry looks.
