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 the Lord 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.
25. Like cold water to a thirsty soul,so is good news from a far country.
26. Like a muddied spring, and a polluted well,so is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
27. It is not good to eat much honey;nor is it honourable to seek one’s own honour.
28. Like a city that is broken down and without wallsis a man whose spirit is without restraint.
