Proverbs 25:21-28
21If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.22For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head,1 and the LORD will reward you.
23As the north wind brings forth rain,so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks.
24Better to live on a corner of the roofthan to share a house with a quarrelsome wife.
25Like cold water to a weary soulis good news from a distant land.
26Like a muddied spring or a polluted wellis a righteous man who gives way to the wicked.
27It is not good to eat too much honeyor to search out one’s own glory.
28Like a city whose walls are broken downis a man who does not control his temper.
