Proverbs 25:21-26 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

21. If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

22. for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and Jehovah shall reward thee.

23. The north wind bringeth forth rain, and the angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

24. It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman, and a house in common.

25. As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

26. A troubled fountain, and a defiled well, is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.
