21 If your enemy is hungry, give him some food to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him some water to drink. 22 [In this way] you will make him feel guilty and ashamed, and the LORD will reward you. 23 [As] the north wind brings rain, so a whispering tongue brings angry looks. 24 Better to live on a corner of a roof than to share a home with a quarreling woman. 25 [Like] cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from far away. 26 [Like] a muddied spring and a polluted well, [so] is a righteous person who gives in to a wicked person. 27 Eating too much honey is not good, and searching for honor is not honorable. 28 [Like] a city broken into [and] left without a wall, [so] is a person who lacks self-control.
