21 If thy enemy be hungry, give him to eat: if he thirst, give him water to drink: 22 For thou shalt heap hot coals upon his head, and the Lord will reward thee. 23 The north wind driveth away rain, as doth a sad countenance a backbiting tongue. 24 It is better to sit m a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman, and in a common house. 25 As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good tidings from a far country. 26 A just man falling down before the wicked, is as a fountain troubled with the foot, and a corrupted spring. 27 As it is not good for a man to eat much honey, so he that is a searcher of majesty, shall be overwhelmed by glory. 28 As a city that lieth open and is not compassed with walls, so is a man that cannot refrain his own spirit in speaking.
