21 If your enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink; 22 For when you shall do these things for him, you will heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD will reward you. 23 Like the north wind which brings forth rain, so are an evil countenance and a backbiting tongue. 24 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop than with a quarrelsome wife and a house divided against itself. 25 Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. 26 Like a stopped fountain or a polluted spring is a righteous man when he falls down before the wicked. 27 It is not good to eat much honey, nor to search for high praises for oneself. 28 Like a breached city that has no wall, so is a man who is impatient.
