Proverbs 25:21-27 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

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

22. for you will heap burning coals on his head,and the Lord will reward you.

23. The north wind produces rain,and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

24. Better to live on the corner of a roofthan to share a house with a nagging wife.

25. Good news from a distant landis like cold water to a parched throat.

26. A righteous person who yields to the wicked is like a muddied spring or a polluted well.

27. It is not good to eat too much honey or to seek glory after glory.
