Revised Version 1895
Proverbs 25:15-23
15By longH753 forbearing is a rulerH7101 persuaded, and a softH7390 tongueH3956 breaketh the boneH1634.
16Hast thou foundH4672 honeyH1706? eatH398 soH6435 much as is sufficientH1767 for thee; lestH6435 thou be filledH7646 therewith, and vomitH6958 it.
17Let thy footH7272 be seldom in thy neighbour’s houseH1004; lestH6435 he be wearyH7646 of thee, and hateH8130 thee.
18A manH376 that beareth falseH8267 witnessH5707 againstH376 his neighbour is a maul, and a swordH2719, and a sharpH8150 arrowH2671.
19ConfidenceH4009 in an unfaithful man in time of troubleH6869 is like a broken toothH8127, and a footH7272 out of joint.
20As one that taketh offH5921 a garmentH899 in coldH7135 weather, and as vinegarH2558 uponH5921 nitre, soH5921 is he that singeth songsH7892 to an heavy heartH3820.
21IfH518 thine enemyH8130 be hungryH7457, giveH8248 him breadH3899 to eatH398; and ifH518 he be thirstyH6771, giveH8248 him waterH4325 to drinkH8248:
22For thou shalt heapH2846 coalsH1513 of fire uponH5921 his headH7218, and the LORDH3068 shall rewardH7999 thee.
23The northH6828 windH7307 bringeth forth rainH1653: soH6440 doth a backbiting tongueH3956 an angryH2194 countenanceH6440.
