Holman Christian Standard Bible

Proverbs 25:19-24 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

19. Trusting an unreliable person in a difficult timeis like a rotten tooth or a faltering foot.

20. Singing songs to a troubled heartis like taking off clothing on a cold dayor like pouring vinegar on soda.

21. If your enemy is hungry, give him food 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 produces rain,and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

24. Better to live on the corner of a roofthan to share a house with a nagging wife.
