Proverbs
Chapters 25:16-22
New International Version Anglicized
16If you find honey, eat just enough –too much of it, and you will vomit.
17Seldom set foot in your neighbour’s house –too much of you, and they will hate you.
18Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrowis one who gives false testimony against a neighbour.
19Like a broken tooth or a lame footis reliance on the unfaithful in a time of trouble.
20Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day,or like vinegar poured on a wound,is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,and the Lord will reward you.
