Proverbs 25:21-28

21If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat. If they are thirsty, give them water to drink.

22You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads, and the Lord will reward you.

23As surely as a north wind brings rain, so a gossiping tongue causes anger!

24It’s better to live alone in the corner of an attic than with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home.

25Good news from far away is like cold water to the thirsty.

26If the godly give in to the wicked, it’s like polluting a fountain or muddying a spring.

27It’s not good to eat too much honey, and it’s not good to seek honors for yourself.

28A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.
