Proverbs 25:19-28

19 Relying on an untrustworthy person in a time of trouble is like [relying on] a broken tooth or an unsteady leg.

20 Like removing clothes on a chilly day or like vinegar on soda is someone who sings songs to a heavy heart.

21 If someone who hates you is hungry, give him food to eat; and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.

22 For you will heap fiery coals [of shame] on his head, and ADONAI will reward you.

23 The north wind brings rain and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.

24 It is better to live on a corner of the roof than to share the house with a nagging wife.

25 Like cold water to a person faint from thirst is good news from a distant land.

26 Like a muddied spring or a polluted well is a righteous person who gives way before the wicked.

27 It isn't good to eat too much honey or to seek honor after honor.

28 Like a city breached, without walls, is a person who lacks self-control.
