Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house, Lest he be weary of you, and hate you.
18
A man who gives false testimony against his neighbor Is like a club, a sword, or a sharp arrow.
19
Confidence in someone unfaithful in time of trouble Is like a bad tooth, or a lame foot.
20
As one who takes away a garment in cold weather, Or vinegar on soda, So is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
21
If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; If he is thirsty, give him water to drink:
22
For you will heap coals of fire on his head, And Yahweh will reward you.
23
The north wind brings forth rain: So a backbiting tongue brings an angry face.
24
It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than to share a house with a contentious woman.
25
Like cold water to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.
26
Like a muddied spring, and a polluted well, So is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
