Proverbs 25:21-28

21If your enemy is hungry, give him some food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him some water to drink.

22⌞In this way⌟ you will make him feel guilty and ashamed, and the Lord will reward you.

23⌞As⌟ the north wind brings rain, so a whispering tongue brings angry looks.

24Better to live on a corner of a roof than to share a home with a quarreling woman.

25⌞Like⌟ cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from far away.

26⌞Like⌟ a muddied spring and a polluted well, ⌞so⌟ is a righteous person who gives in to a wicked person.

27Eating too much honey is not good, and searching for honor is not honorable.

28⌞Like⌟ a city broken into ⌞and⌟ left without a wall, ⌞so⌟ is a person who lacks self-control.
