Proverbes 25:22 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 25:22

For thou shall heap coals of fire upon his head
Not to increase his punishment and damnation, the more aggravated by kindness shown him; but to bring him by such means to a sense of former injuries, and to shame for them, repentance of them, and love of the person injured, and carefulness for the future of doing him any further wrong; and the Lord shall reward thee:
with good things, for all the good done to thine enemy, whether it has the desired effect on him or not; or whether he rewards thee or not; see ( Romans 12:20 Romans 12:21 ) .

Proverbes 25:22 In-Context

20 Oter son vĂȘtement dans un jour froid, RĂ©pandre du vinaigre sur du nitre, C'est dire des chansons Ă  un coeur attristĂ©.
21 Si ton ennemi a faim, donne-lui du pain Ă  manger; S'il a soif, donne-lui de l'eau Ă  boire.
22 Car ce sont des charbons ardents que tu amasses sur sa tĂȘte, Et l'Eternel te rĂ©compensera.
23 Le vent du nord enfante la pluie, Et la langue mystérieuse un visage irrité.
24 Mieux vaut habiter Ă  l'angle d'un toit, Que de partager la demeure d'une femme querelleuse.
