Proverbs 25:16-24

¹⁶Hast thou found honey? Eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be surfeited therewith, and vomit it.

¹⁷Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbour's house; lest he be weary of thee and hate thee.

¹⁸A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, is a man that beareth false witness against his neighbour.

¹⁹A broken tooth, and a tottering foot, is confidence in an unfaithful man in the day of trouble.

²⁰As he that taketh off a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a sad heart.

²¹If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

²²for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and Jehovah shall reward thee.

²³The north wind bringeth forth rain, and the angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

²⁴It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a contentious woman, and a house in common.
