箴言 25:21 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 25:21

If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat
Which includes all manner of food; whatever persons may have in their houses, that they should bring out and feed the hungry with, even though an enemy; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink;
which was what was usually and in common drank in those countries. These two, bread and water, take in all the necessaries of life; and giving them is expressive of all acts of beneficence and humanity to be performed to enemies; see ( 2 Kings 6:22 ) ; or "drink to him", so Pagninus and Montanus; which is still more expressive of respect and kindness.

箴言 25:21 In-Context

19 患 難 時 倚 靠 不 忠 誠 的 人 , 好 像 破 壞 的 牙 , 錯 骨 縫 的 腳 。
20 對 傷 心 的 人 唱 歌 , 就 如 冷 天 脫 衣 服 , 又 如 鹼 上 倒 醋 。
21 你 的 仇 敵 若 餓 了 , 就 給 他 飯 吃 ; 若 渴 了 , 就 給 他 水 喝 ;
22 因 為 , 你 這 樣 行 就 是 把 炭 火 堆 在 他 的 頭 上 ; 耶 和 華 也 必 賞 賜 你 。
23 北 風 生 雨 , 讒 謗 人 的 舌 頭 也 生 怒 容 。
