Proverbs 25:21

¹⁹ Like a broken tooth or a foot out of joint is confidence in a faithless man in time of trouble.

²⁰ Like one who removes a garment on a cold day or vinegar poured on a wound is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

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

²² For in so doing, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.

²³ As the north wind brings forth rain, so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks.
