Proverbs 25:20-28

Listen to Proverbs 25:20-28

20 Like one who takes away a garment in cold weather, And like vinegar on soda, Is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.

21 If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

22 For so you will heap coals of fire on his head, And the Lord will reward you.

23 The north wind brings forth rain, And a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

24 It is better to dwell in a corner of a housetop, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

25 As cold water to a weary soul, So is good news from a far country.

26 A righteous man who falters before the wicked Is like a murky spring and a polluted well.

27 It is not good to eat much honey; So to seek one's own glory is not glory.

28 Whoever has no rule over his own spirit Is like a city broken down, without walls.
