Proverbs 25:15-23
15By long forbearing is a rulerH7101 persuaded,And a softH7390 tongueH3956 breaketh the boneH1634.16Hast thou foundH4672 honeyH1706? eatH398 so much as is sufficient for thee,LestH6435 thou be filled therewith, and vomitH6958 it.17Let thy footH7272 be seldom in thy neighbor’sH7453 houseH1004,LestH6435 he be weary of thee, and hateH8130 thee.18A manH376 that beareth false witnessH5707 against his neighborH7453Is a maul, and a swordH2719, and a sharp arrowH2671.19ConfidenceH4009 in an unfaithful man in time of troubleH6869Islikea broken toothH8127, and a footH7272 out of joint.20As one that taketh off a garmentH899 in cold weather, and as vinegarH2558 upon sodaH5427,So is he that singeth songsH7892 to a heavy heartH3820.21If thine enemy be hungryH7457, giveH8248 him breadH3899 to eatH398;And if he be thirstyH6771, giveH8248 him waterH4325 to drinkH8248:22For thou wilt heap coalsH1513 of fire upon his headH7218,And Jehovah will rewardH7999 thee.23The northH6828 windH7307 bringeth forth rainH1653;So doth a backbiting tongueH3956 an angry countenance.
