Proverbs 25:21-24 English Standard Version (ESV)

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

22. for you will heap burning coals on his head,and the Lord will reward you.

23. The north wind brings forth rain,and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

24. It is better to live in a corner of the housetopthan in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife.
