20And one that looseth his garment in cold weather. As vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a very evil heart. As a moth doth by a garment, and a worm by the wood: so the sadness of a man consumeth the heart.
21If thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat: if he thirst, give him water to drink:
22For thou shalt heap hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will reward thee.
23The north wind driveth away rain, as doth a sad countenance a backbiting tongue.
24It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman, and in a common house.
25As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good tidings from a far country.
26A just man falling down before the wicked, is as a fountain troubled with the foot, and a corrupted spring.
27As it is not good for a man to eat much honey, so he that is a searcher of majesty, shall be overwhelmed by glory.
28As a city that lieth open and is not compassed with walls, so is a man that cannot refrain his own spirit in speaking.
