Proverbs 25:17-23

¹⁷Withdraw thy foot from the house of thy neighbour, lest having his fill he hate thee.

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

¹⁹To trust to an unfaithful man in the time of trouble, is like a rotten tooth, and weary foot,

²⁰And one that looseth his garment in cold weather. As vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a very evil heart. As a moth doth by a garment, and a worm by the wood: so the sadness of a man consumeth the heart.

²¹If thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat: if he thirst, give him water to drink:

²²For thou shalt heap hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will reward thee.

²³The north wind driveth away rain, as doth a sad countenance a backbiting tongue.
