19
To trust in an unfaithful man in the time of trouble, is like a rotten tooth, and weary foot,
20
And one that looseth his garment in cold weather. As vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to a very evil heart. As a moth doth by a garment, and a worm by the wood: so the sadness of a man consumeth the heart.
21
If thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat: if he thirst, give him water to drink:
22
For thou shalt heap hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will reward thee.
23
The north wind driveth away rain, as doth a sad countenance a backbiting tongue.
24
It is better to sit in a corner of the housetop: than with a brawling woman, and in a common house.
25
As cold water to a thirsty soul, so are good tidings from a far country.
26
A just man falling down before the wicked, is as a fountain troubled with the foot and a corrupted spring.
27
As it is not good for a man to eat much honey, so he that is a searcher of majesty shall be overwhelmed by glory.
28
As a city that lieth open and is not compassed with walls, so is a man that cannot refrain his own spirit in speaking.
