For you will heap coals of fire on his head, And Yahweh will reward you.

Like cold water to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.

Like a muddied spring, and a polluted well, So is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

It is not good to eat much honey; Nor is it honorable to seek ones own honor.
