20 As he that takes away a garment in cold weather and as vinegar upon soap, so is he that sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If thy enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,
22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.
23 The north wind drives away rain, so does an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain and a corrupt spring.
