Proverbs 25

21  If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

22  For thou wilt heap coals of fire upon his head, And Jehovah will reward thee.

23  The north wind bringeth forth rain: So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

24  It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.

25  `As' cold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.

26  `As' a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, `So is' a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.

27  It is not good to eat much honey: So `for men' to search out their own glory is grievous.

28  He whose spirit is without restraint Is `like' a city that is broken down and without walls.
