Proverbs 25:21-28
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 headH7218,1 and the LORDH3068 will rewardH7999 you.
23As the northH6828 windH7307 brings forthH2342 rainH1653,so a backbitingH5643 tongueH3956 brings angryH2194 looksH6440.
24BetterH2896 to liveH3427 onH5921 a cornerH6438 of the roofH1406than to shareH2267 a houseH1004 with a quarrelsomeH4066 wifeH802.
25Like coldH7119 waterH4325 toH5921 a wearyH5889 soulH5315is goodH2896 newsH8052 from a distantH4801 landH776.
26Like a muddiedH7515 springH4599 or a pollutedH7843 wellH4726is a righteous manH6662 who gives wayH4131 toH6440 the wickedH7563.
