Proverbs 25:20-27

²⁰Hee that taketh away the garment in the colde season, is like vineger powred vpon nitre, or like him that singeth songs to an heauy heart.

²¹If hee that hateth thee be hungry, giue him bread to eate, and if he be thirstie, giue him water to drinke.

²²For thou shalt lay coles vpon his head, and the Lord shall recompense thee.

²³As the Northwinde driueth away the raine, so doeth an angry countenance the slandering tongue.

²⁴It is better to dwell in a corner of the house top, then with a contentious woman in a wide house.

²⁵As are the colde waters to a weary soule, so is good newes from a farre countery.

²⁶A righteous man falling downe before the wicked, is like a troubled well, and a corrupt spring.

²⁷It is not good to eate much hony: so to search their owne glory is not glory.
