EatH398 only 4whatH1767 you needH1767, SoH6435 thatH6435 you do notH6435 haveH7646 it in excessH7646 and vomitH7006 it.17Let your footH7272 rarelyH3365 beH3365 in your neighbor’sH7453 houseH1004, OrH6435 he will becomeH7646 5wearyH7646 of you and hateH8130 you.18Like a clubH4661, a 6swordH2719, and a sharpH8150 7arrowH2671 Is a personH376 who givesH6030 8falseH8267 testimonyH5707 against his neighborH7453.19Like a badH7489 toothH8127 and 9an unsteadyH4571 footH7272 Is confidenceH4009 in a 10treacherousH898 person in timeH3117 of troubleH6869.20Like one who takesH5710 offH5710 a garmentH899 on a coldH7135 dayH3117, or like vinegarH2558 on 11sodaH5427, Is one who singsH7891 songsH7892 to 12a troubledH7451 heartH3820.2113IfH518 14your enemyH8130 is hungryH7457, giveH398 him foodH3899 toH398 eatH398; And ifH518 he is thirstyH6771, giveH8248 him waterH4325 toH8248 drinkH8248;22For you will 15heapH2846 burning coalsH1513 on his headH7218, And 16the LordH3068 will rewardH7999 you.23The northH6828 windH7307 bringsH2342 rainH1653, And a 1718gossipingH5643 tongueH3956 brings an angryH2194 faceH6440.
