Proverbs 25:18-28

18 A man that bears false witness against his neighbour 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 he that takes away a garment in cold weather and as vinegar upon soap, so is he that sings songs to a heavy heart.
21 If thy enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink,
22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the LORD shall reward thee.
23 The north wind drives away rain, so does an angry countenance a backbiting tongue.
24 It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than with a brawling woman and in a wide house.
25 As cold waters to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country.
26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain and a corrupt spring.
27 It is not good to eat much honey, so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
28 The man whose spirit has no restraint is like a city that is broken down and without walls.
