Proverbs 25:18-24

¹⁸A battle-hammer, and a sword, and a sharp arrow, Is the man who beareth false witness against his neighbor.

¹⁹As a broken tooth, and a wavering foot, So is trust in an unfaithful man in time of trouble.

²⁰As he that taketh off a garment on a cold day, As vinegar upon nitre, So is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.

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

²²For thou wilt heap coals of fire upon his head, And the LORD will reward thee.

²³As the north wind bringeth forth rain, So a backbiting tongue maketh an angry countenance.

²⁴Better is it to dwell in a corner of the housetop, Than with a quarrelsome woman in a large house.
