Proverbs 25:15-23
15Through patienceH753H639 a rulerH7101 can be persuadedH6601, and a gentleH7390 tongueH3956 can breakH7665 a boneH1634.
16If you findH4672 honeyH1706, eatH398 just what you needH1767,lestH6435 you have too muchH7646 and vomit it upH6958.
17SeldomH3365 set footH7272 in your neighbor’sH7453 houseH1004,lestH6435 he grow wearyH7646 and hate youH8130.
18Like a clubH4650 or swordH2719 or sharpH8150 arrowH2671is a manH376 who bearsH6030 falseH8267 witnessH5707 against his neighborH7453.
19Like a brokenH7465 toothH8127 or a footH7272 out of jointH4571is confidenceH4009 in a faithless manH898 in timeH3117 of troubleH6869.
20Like one who removesH5710 a garmentH899 on a coldH7135 dayH3117or vinegarH2558 poured onH5921 a woundH54271is one who singsH7891 songsH7892 toH5921 a heavyH7451 heartH3820.
21IfH518 your enemyH8130 is hungryH7457, give him foodH3899 to eatH398,and ifH518 he is thirstyH6771, give him waterH4325 to drinkH8248.22ForH3588 in so doing, youH859 will heapH2846 burning coalsH1513 onH5921 his headH7218,2and the LORDH3068 will rewardH7999 you.
23As the northH6828 windH7307 brings forthH2342 rainH1653,so a backbitingH5643 tongueH3956 brings angryH2194 looksH6440.
