Proverbs 25:17-23

¹⁷Do not go to your neighbor's house very often to talk with him; if you go very often, he will get tired of listening to you and start to hate you.

¹⁸To falsely accuse others in court is like SIM attacking them with a war-club or a sword or a sharp arrow.

¹⁹Depending on unreliable people when you have troubles is as bad as trying to eat when you have a bad/hurting tooth or trying to walk when your foot is crippled.

²⁰Singing to someone who is depressed just causes him to feel worse; it is like SIM taking off clothes on a very cold day or like putting vinegar on a wound.

²¹If your enemies are hungry, give them something to eat; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink;

²²doing that will cause them to feel ashamed IDM, and Yahweh will reward you for doing that.

²³When wind blows from the right direction, it will rain; similarly SIM, if we gossip about others, that causes them to look at us very angrily.
