19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of troubleIs like a bad tooth and a foot out of joint.
20 Like one who takes away a garment in cold weather,And like vinegar on soda,Is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat;And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;
22 For so you will heap coals of fire on his head,And the Lord will reward you.
23 The north wind brings forth rain,And a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
24 It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop,Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
25 As cold water to a weary soul,So is good news from a far country.
