21 (25:20) If thyne enemie hunger, feede hym, if he thirst, geue him drinke: 22 (25:21) For so shalt thou heape coles of fire vpon his head, and the Lorde shall rewarde thee. 23 (25:22) The northwinde dryueth away the rayne: euen so doth an angry countenaunce a backbiters tongue. 24 (25:23) It is better to sit in a corner vpon the house toppe, then with a brawling woman in a wide house. 25 (25:24) Good newes from a straunge countrey, are as colde water to a thirstie soule. 26 (25:25) A righteous man fallyng downe before the vngodly, is like a troubled wel, and a spring that is corrupted. 27 (25:26) As it is not good to eate to muche honye, so curiously to searche the glory of heauenly thinges, is not commendable. 28 (25:27) He that can not rule him selfe, is like a citie whiche is broken downe and hath no walles.
