19. Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

20. As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre; so is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.

21. If thy enemy shall hunger, give him bread to eat; and if he shall thirst, give him water to drink:

22. For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD will reward thee.

23. The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

24. It is better to dwell in a corner of the house-top, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.

25. As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.

26. A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a turbid fountain, and a corrupt spring.

27. It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.

28. He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
