Proverbs 25:21-28

If thine enemy
<08130> (8802)

be hungry
<07457>_,

give him bread
<03899>

to eat
<0398> (8685)_;

and if he be thirsty
<06771>_,

give him water
<04325>

to drink
<08248> (8685)_:

For thou shalt heap
<02846> (8802)

coals of fire
<01513>

upon his head
<07218>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

shall reward
<07999> (8762)

thee.

The north
<06828>

wind
<07307>

driveth away
<02342> (8787)

rain
<01653>_:

so [doth] an angry
<02194> (8737)

countenance
<06440>

a backbiting
<05643>

tongue
<03956>_.

{driveth...: or, bringeth forth rain: so doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance}

[It is] better
<02896>

to dwell
<03427> (8800)

in the corner
<06438>

of the housetop
<01406>_,

than with a brawling
<04079> (8675) <04066>

woman
<0802>

and in a wide
<02267>

house
<01004>_.

[As] cold
<07119>

waters
<04325>

to a thirsty
<05889>

soul
<05315>_,

so [is] good
<02896>

news
<08052>

from a far
<04801>

country
<0776>_.

A righteous
<06662>

man falling down
<04131> (8801)

before
<06440>

the wicked
<07563>

[is as] a troubled
<07515> (8737)

fountain
<04599>_,

and a corrupt
<07843> (8716)

spring
<04726>_.

[It is] not good
<02896>

to eat
<0398> (8800)

much
<07235> (8687)

honey
<01706>_:

so [for men] to search
<02714>

their own glory
<03519>

[is not] glory
<03519>_.

He
<0376>

that [hath] no rule
<04623>

over his own spirit
<07307>

[is like] a city
<05892>

[that is] broken down
<06555> (8803)_,

[and] without walls
<02346>_.
