The Message

Proverbs 25:18-23 The Message (MSG)

18. Anyone who tells lies against the neighborsin court or on the street is a loose cannon.

19. Trusting a double-crosser when you’re in troubleis like biting down on an abscessed tooth.

20. Singing light songs to the heavyheartedis like pouring salt in their wounds.

21-22. If you see your enemy hungry, go buy him lunch;if he’s thirsty, bring him a drink.Your generosity will surprise him with goodness,and God will look after you.

23. A north wind brings stormy weather,and a gossipy tongue stormy looks.
