Let thy foot be seldom in thy neighbor's house, Lest he be weary of thee, and hate thee.
18
A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor Is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.
19
Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is [like] a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.
20
[As] one that taketh off a garment in cold weather, [and as] vinegar upon soda, So is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.
21
If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22
For thou wilt heap coals of fire upon his head, And Jehovah will reward thee.
23
The north wind bringeth forth rain: So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.
24
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.
25
[As] cold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.
26
[As] a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, [So is] a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.
27
It is not good to eat much honey: So [for men] to search out their own glory is grievous.
