Proverbs 25:16-27 Modern English Version (MEV)

16. Have you found honey? Eat only as much as is sufficient for you,lest you be filled with it and vomit it.

17. Withdraw your foot from your neighbor’s house,lest he be weary of you and so hate you.

18. A man who bears false witness against his neighboris like a club, a sword, and a sharp arrow.

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

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

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

22. for you will heap coals of fire upon his head,and the Lord will reward you.

23. The north wind brings rain,and a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

24. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetopthan with a brawling woman 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 wickedis as a troubled 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.
