Proverbs 25:19-24 World English Bible (WEB)

19. Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble is like a bad tooth, or a lame foot.

20. As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, or vinegar on soda, so is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

21. If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat. If he is thirsty, give him water to drink:

22. for you will heap coals of fire on his head, and Yahweh will reward you.

23. The north wind produces rain; so a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.

24. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than to share a house with a contentious woman.
