Proverbs 25:17-26

¹⁷Enter sparingly into thy friend’s house, Lest he be satiated with thy company, and hate thee.

¹⁸As a club, and a dagger, and a pointed arrow, So also is a man who bears false witness against his friend.

¹⁹The way of the wicked and the foot of the transgressor shall perish in an evil day.

²⁰As vinegar is bad for a sore, So trouble befalling the body afflicts the heart.

^20aAs a moth in a garment, and a worm in wood, So the grief of a man hurts the heart.

²¹If thine enemy hunger, feed him; If he thirst, give him drink;

²²For so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, And the Lord shall reward thee with good.

²³The north wind raises clouds; So an impudent face provokes the tongue.

²⁴It is better to dwell on a corner of the roof, Than with a railing woman in an open house.

²⁵As cold water is agreeable to a thirsting soul, So is a good message from a land far off.

²⁶As if one should stop a well, and corrupt a spring of water, So is it unseemly for a righteous man to fall before an ungodly man.
