Proverbs 25:21-28
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.24It is betterH2896 to dwellH3427 in the cornerH6438 of the housetop,Than with a contentious womanH802 in a wide houseH1004.25Ascold watersH4325 to a thirsty soulH5315,So is goodH2896 newsH8052 from a far country.26Asa troubled fountainH4726, and a corruptedH7843 springH4599,So isa righteousH6662 man that giveth way before the wickedH7563.27It is not goodH2896 to eatH398 muchH7235 honeyH1706;Sofor mento searchH2714 out their own gloryH3519 is grievous.28He whose spiritH7307 is without restraintIslikea cityH5892 that is brokenH6555 downH6555 and without wallsH2346.
