One who gives false witness against his neighbour is a hammer and a sword and a sharp arrow.

Like one who takes off clothing in cold weather and like acid on a wound, is he who makes melody to a sad heart.

If your hater is in need of food, give him bread; and if he is in need of drink, give him water:
22
For so you will put coals of fire on his head, and the Lord will give you your reward.

It is not good to take much honey: so he who is not looking for honour will be honoured.
