Proverbs 25:19-24

1. 19 Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

2. 20 As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.

3. 21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

4. 22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.

5. 23 The north wind driveth away rain: so doth an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.

6. 24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
