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 you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.

23The north wind produces rain, and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

24Better to live on the corner of a roof than to share a house with a nagging wife.

25Good news from a distant land is like cold water to a parched throat.

26A righteous person who yields to the wicked is like a muddied spring or a polluted well.

27It is not good to eat too much honey or to seek glory after glory.

28A person who does not control his temper is like a city whose wall is broken down.
