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 fiducia in un perfido, nel dì della distretta, è un dente rotto, un piede slogato.
20 Cantar delle canzoni a un cuor dolente è come togliersi l’abito in giorno di freddo, e mettere aceto sul nitro.
21 Se il tuo nemico ha fame, dagli del pane da mangiare: se ha sete, dagli dell’acqua da bere;
22 ché, così, raunerai dei carboni accesi sul suo capo, e l’Eterno ti ricompenserà.
23 Il vento del nord porta la pioggia, e la lingua che sparla di nascosto fa oscurare il viso.
