Proverbs 25:17-27

17 Don't go to your neighbor's house too often; too much of you will make him hate you.

18 When you lie about your neighbors, it hurts them as much as a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.

19 Trusting unfaithful people when you are in trouble is like eating with a broken tooth or walking with a crippled foot.

20 Singing songs to someone who is sad is like taking away his coat on a cold day or pouring vinegar on soda.

21 If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink.

22 Doing this will be like pouring burning coals on his head, and the Lord will reward you.

23 As the north wind brings rain, telling gossip brings angry looks.

24 It is better to live in a corner on the roofn than inside the house with a quarreling wife.

25 Good news from a faraway place is like a cool drink when you are tired.

26 A good person who gives in to evil is like a muddy spring or a dirty well.

27 It is not good to eat too much honey, nor does it bring you honor to brag about yourself.
