Proverbs

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. ²³Like a north wind that brings unexpected rain is a sly tongue—which provokes a horrified look. ²⁴Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife. ²⁵Like cold water to a weary soul is good news from a distant land. ²⁶Like a muddied spring or a polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked. ²⁷It is not good to eat too much honey, nor is it honorable to search out matters that are too deep.
