New Testament

Proverbs 25:18-27 American Standard Version (ASV)

18. A man that beareth false witness against his neighbor Is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.

19. Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble Is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.

20. As one that taketh off a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon soda, So is he that singeth songs to a heavy heart.

21. If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; And if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:

22. For thou wilt heap coals of fire upon his head, And Jehovah will reward thee.

23. The north wind bringeth forth rain: So doth a backbiting tongue an angry countenance.

24. It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop, Than with a contentious woman in a wide house.

25. As cold waters to a thirsty soul, So is good news from a far country.

26. As a troubled fountain, and a corrupted spring, So is a righteous man that giveth way before the wicked.

27. It is not good to eat much honey: So for men to search out their own glory is grievous.
