Proverbs 25:21-28 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

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

22. For you are heaping coals of fire on his head, And יהוה rewards you.

23. The north wind brings rain, And a secret tongue an enraged face.

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

25. Like cold water to a parched throat, Is good news from a distant land.

26. A righteous man who gives way before the wrong, Is like a muddied spring and a ruined fountain.

27. It is not good to eat much honey. Is it esteem to seek one’s own esteem?

28. A man who has no control over his spirit Is like a broken-down city without a wall.
