Proverbi 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.

Proverbi 25:21 In-Context

19 La confidanza che si pone nel disleale è, in giorno di afflizione, Un dente rotto, ed un piè dislogato.
20 Chi canta canzoni presso di un cuor dolente È come chi si toglie la vesta d’addosso in giorno di freddo, E come l’aceto sopra il nitro.
21 Se colui che ti odia ha fame, dagli da mangiar del pane; E se ha sete, dagli da bere dell’acqua;
22 Perciocchè così tu gli metterai delle brace in su la testa; E il Signore te ne farà la retribuzione.
23 Il vento settentrionale dissipa la pioggia; E il viso sdegnoso la lingua che sparla di nascosto.
