Proverbs 25:17-26

¹⁷Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's house, Lest he be satiated with thee, and have hated thee.

¹⁸A maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, Is the man testifying against his neighbour a false testimony.

¹⁹A bad tooth, and a tottering foot, Is the confidence of the treacherous in a day of adversity.

²⁰Whoso is taking away a garment in a cold day, Is as vinegar on nitre, And a singer of songs on a sad heart.

²¹If he who is hating thee doth hunger, cause him to eat bread, And if he thirst, cause him to drink water.

²²For coals thou art putting on his head, And Jehovah giveth recompense to thee.

²³A north wind bringeth forth rain, And a secret tongue — indignant faces.

²⁴Better to sit on a corner of a roof, Than with a woman of contentions, and a house of company.

²⁵As cold waters for a weary soul, So is a good report from a far country.

²⁶A spring troubled, and a fountain corrupt, Is the righteous falling before the wicked.
