Proverbes 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.

19 La confiance en un perfide au jour de la détresse, est une dent qui se rompt, et un pied qui glisse.
20 Celui qui chante des chansons Ă  un cƓur affligĂ©, est comme celui qui ĂŽte son vĂȘtement en un temps froid, et comme du vinaigre rĂ©pandu sur le nitre.
21 Si ton ennemi a faim donne-lui du pain Ă  manger; et s'il a soif donne-lui de l'eau Ă  boire.
22 Car ce sont des charbons ardents que tu amasseras sur sa tĂȘte, et l'Éternel te le rendra.
23 Le vent du nord produit la pluie, et la langue qui médit en secret, produit le visage irrité.
