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.
24It is better to live ◄ alone/by yourself► in the corner of an attic/housetop than to live inside the house with a wife who is always nagging.
25Receiving good news from a country far away refreshes our spirits like SIM cold water refreshes us when we are very thirsty.
26When a righteous/good person ◄gives in/yields► to wicked people, that is as bad as SIM a spring that becomes muddied or a fountain that becomes polluted.
