Proverbs 25:20-27 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

20. Like one who takes off a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar on soda, Is he who sings songs to a troubled heart.

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 brings forth rain, And a backbiting tongue, an angry countenance.

24. It is better to live in a corner of the roof Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

25. Like cold water to a weary soul, So is good news from a distant land.

26. Like a trampled spring and a polluted well Is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

27. It is not good to eat much honey, Nor is it glory to search out one's own glory.
