Proverbs 25:18-26 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.
